The event offers an impressive selection of award-winning blockbusters, family favourites and must-see classics on two large screens. Film lovers can enjoy the screenings from the comfort and safety of their cars, which will be provided with a device to hear the movie through and a unique parking bay with full social distancing.
As part of the mini festival feel there will be a wide range of food stalls, including Cambridge favourites Steak and Honour, Guerrilla Kitchen, Franck, CaféMobile, Arepas Station, and Cottenham Farms. Orders can be placed in advance via from the caterers using apps or mobile numbers.
Speaking ahead of the event, Tony Jones, Cambridge Film Projects Director and former Director of the Cambridge Film Festival, said: “I’m genuinely excited to be bringing this special event to Cambridge. Drive-in cinema is a unique, exciting event not experienced by many in this country until this summer. It offers the fun of sharing a viewing experience with others but from a safe distance.
“The idea started in lockdown and during that time we had the time to carefully select each of the films to cater to a wide and diverse taste. By using the best production equipment on the market, we hope to host some amazing events that people will love.”
Limited tickets (to allow for social distancing and viewing) are now on sale. For more information and to book tickets, please visit: www.cambridgedrivein.uk
