Bridport's known for holding quirky events, like the Hat Festival and tonight is no exception.

Images are going to projected onto buildings as part of "See What You Say Cinema.

We can watch it on the Lyric Theatre's Facebook Page at 9.30pm tonight and suggest images of what we'd like to see.

The community arts project is aimed at promoting the town's Lyric Theatre which has been shut during the pandemic.

Multi-media Artist Tom Hughes is behind the idea.

He told Greatest Hits Radio Dorset:

"Its about coming out of lockdown and giving a voice to people who feel like they don't have a voice.

"It's not very serious this project. But it will be nice if people from the safety of their computer screens can chime in with whatever they want to see. I'll magic it up!"

"The Lyric theatre which has had to be closed for months really wants to be back on the map. One way of doing that is taking the theatre out of the building.

"There'll also be a webcam, live-streaming the footage of the projections to Facebook so that people at home can comment and suggest what they'd like to see projected!".
