A drive-in cinema is coming to Hampshire and these films will be shown

Movie fans will be able to live out this iconic American experience in Southampton between September 24 and September 27.

It will show a range of movies from all-time classic, to gritty superhero tales, so there will be something for everyone.

Earlier this month the government confirmed that drive-in cinemas can reopen from June 15.

Suzuki’s @TheDriveIn will be coming to 12 cities around the country between July and October – including Southampton and Brighton.

Time Out London reports that the plan is to set up an LED screen and for cars to be parked two-metres apart, as per social distancing advise.

There will be a food-delivery app so that visitors can enjoy snacks and drinks with the movies, orders will be delivered by ‘roller-waiters’.

The drive-in cinema will also have other entertainment such as silent car discos, bingo and stand-up comedy.
