The shows, from July 2 to September 27, feature a top-of-the-range LED screen, and a food delivery app serving American-style dishes and snacks via roller waiters, all while adhering to safe social-distancing practices.

@TheDriveIn offers an escape for those who are missing forms of outdoors entertainment post lockdown. Tickets start at £35 per car and will be on sale from May 27, with films and venues announced soon. People who are interested can sign up for the exclusive pre-sale via: atthedrive.in

Ten free tickets per screening will be available for NHS staff and care workers as a thanks for their hard work and dedication during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Each screening will be preceded by a range of entertainment including bingo, silent car disco or stand-up comedy, to suit families and friendship groups of all ages.

A food delivery app will allow guests to order Americana-inspired food from some of the industry’s best suppliers, delivered straight to boxes by each car via roller waiters.

Cars parked over two metres apart provide naturally built-in social distancing, and entry will be via license plate checking, meaning no interaction between staff and guests is necessary.

Toilet facilities with strict hygiene measures will be followed, in line with government guidelines, to ensure a safe environment.

With six shows per city, there is something for everyone, from family-friendly afternoons to late-night screenings.
