A spokesperson said: "We wanted to support some local businesses that have been particularly hard hit over the past few months, whilst also creating a safe event for people to attend when there is not a lot going on.

"Lockdown and social distancing have been a drag for most of us, so our Skylit Drive-In Cinema events will bring back some good old entertainment! Whilst social distancing will still be in place at the event, our aim is to create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can enjoy great movies from the comfort of their own car."

You’ll be able to tune in to the film’s sound using your car's FM transmission, so you can listen straight through your vehicle’s radio, while a top of the range ten metre by six metre LED screen will provide a fantastic visual experience.

Guests will also have the chance to order a range of food and drinks throughout the film to make it a proper cinema experience. The event will be run within Covid-safe guidelines, current at the time of the event, including toilets and hand-wash stations which will be available for use.
