SOMETHING fishy will be happening in Darlington this month when a much loved family movie comes to town.

As part of the Darlington by the Sea schedule of summertime events, a giant screen will be showing films in the town’s Market Square on Fridays July 24 and 31.

And among the trio of films shown on both days, will be Disney favourite, Finding Nemo, which will be screened at 3.30pm each day.

This animated underwater adventure follows the momentous journey of a clownfish named Marlin and his son, Nemo, who become separated in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken from his ocean home and dumped in a fish tank in a dentist's office.

With the help of forgetful blue tang fish Dory, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek to rescue his son, who also hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely home.

Underwater adventures can also be found earlier each day, with the escapades of sea-dwelling SpongeBob SquarePants in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, at 1.30pm.

At 11am, sci-fi fans can enjoy screenings of Academy Award-winning Big Hero 6, about high tech inflatable robots.

While some deckchairs will be available, film fans are advised to bring their own portable chairs, rugs and cushions as seating is limited.

Along with the film screenings, visitors to the town centre over the two week event will be able to enjoy a variety of activities and entertainment, including Punch and Judy shows, seaside-themed sideshows, competitions and pirate treasure hunts.
