SOCCER fans will know that England last won the World Cup in 1966; but if you think its all over, in terms of excitement, half a century on, then think again.

Its the summer of 1966, and the eyes of the world are on London for its music, the fashion and the football, as the England team prepares for the World Cup final.

This moment will be captured with a live broadcast from Wembley to the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury.

The live screening "World Cup ’66 Live", is a retelling the story of that historic day England football fans will never forget.

Events will unfold in real time at The SSE Arena, Wembley in front of an audience of 10,000, and will be broadcast live to The Roses on Saturday July 30, at 2.30pm

A spokesman said: "Exactly 50 years on, music, history and football combine into a once-in-a-lifetime event: from the team stepping onto the hallowed turf at Wembley Stadium, to the crucial minutes before extra time, to the victorious climax with Geoff Hurst scoring the winning goal and Bobby Moore proudly lifting the gold Jules Rimet trophy."

Marc Allenby, Picturehouse Entertainment’s Director of Distribution commented:

“We’re really excited to be involved in this unmissable live event and it will be an amazing way to celebrate this iconic moment. Being able to see the event live will allow an even wider audience to enjoy the minute-by-minute retelling of this legendary sporting achievement along with some of the stories behind it.”

But let's not forget the music.

The story will be underscored by a newly composed soundtrack, as well as featuring hits from 1966, a year regarded by many as one of the most important in the development of UK popular music.

The spokesman said: "This will mean songs by The Beatles, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones performed as newly arranged interpretations by today’s best musicians, or by the legends who delivered them first time around."
