The event will be hosted by Tigers’ sponsors Motorpoint at their branch just outside Glasshoughton, at J32 of the M62. Motorpoint have had tremendous success hosting similar events in the past at their venues up and down the country and this year, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere are in town for the nineties classic “Pretty Woman” as wealthy Edward falls for the irrepressible Vivian over the course of a few days while he is visiting Los Angeles on business.

Tickets are available via MySportsTickets: https://tigers.mysportstickets.co.uk/events/event/_594 or are available to purchase on the day (card payments only).

The screening will start at 8pm but be sure to arrive early once doors open at 6pm to get your ideal position and to enjoy the pre-show entertainment!

Tickets are priced at just £20 per car with all proceeds being split between the club’s charitable arm, the Castleford Tigers Foundation, and The Prince of Wales Hospice, one of the club’s official charity partners that is continuing to work tirelessly through the COVID-19 Pandemic to care for patients in the five towns area with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Additionally Motorpoint's VIP "Best Seats in the House" tickets are priced at £100 per car and include complimentary food and drink for all guests as well as prime position in one of Motorpoint's comfortable saloon cars!

The address for the showing is Motorpoint Castleford, located on the Summit Park business estate near Xscape and J32 of the M62. The full address is as follows:
