Vue Barrow is celebrating Pride Month with a special line-up of queer cinema.

The programme includes a mix of new releases, cult classics and animated adventures, with screenings taking place throughout June.

Rhys Boyle, general manager at Vue Barrow, said: "At Vue we're committed to showcasing films that reflect the rich diversity of our audiences and this Pride we're especially proud to highlight stories that celebrate and represent our LGBTQ+ communities.

"We can't wait to welcome film fans to switch off and immerse themselves in human stories with big emotions, deep connections - and moments that stay with will last long after the credits roll."

The season opens on June 5 with Madfabulous, a biographical drama telling the true story of Henry Paget, a flamboyant figure in 1890s North Wales who used his aristocratic inheritance to live a thoroughly unconventional life.

With the support of his cousin Lily and loyal butler Gelert, Paget defies tradition and upends the expectations of the upper class.

On June 6, The Birdcage returns to the big screen to mark its 30th anniversary.

The comedy classic stars Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a drag club owner and his partner, who agree to pose as a straight couple to impress their son's future in-laws.
