YOUNGSTERS attending an Easter film screening in a North market town today will get more than they bargain for.

Members of the King’s Church, in Richmond, North Yorkshire, have built a mock-up ark and dressed as animals to greet visitors for the screening of comedy film Evan Almighty, at the town hall.

Entry to the film, which is to be shown in the town hall at 2pm, is free.

The film, which parodies the biblical tale of Noah and the ark, is a sequel to the 2003 movie Bruce Almighty, and stars Morgan Freeman as God.

Church member Avril Proudlock said the screening was arranged "to give something back to the community".

She said: "We have put posters up all around the town, and entry is free, so we are hoping for a good turn-out.

"I am dresses as a sheep, we have got some pigs and some chickens, quite a collection."
