BLOCKBUSTER movies will be shown at a special drive-in film festival later this year.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2020 Eastleigh Film Festival, which is due to be held at Itchen Valley Country Park.

The event will take place across three nights and audiences will be able to watch three selected movies from their own cars.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off will open the festival on Saturday 12th September, with Jurassic Park being shown on 18 September, followed by Evil Dead 2 on 19 September.

There will be a maximum of five people per vehicle for the event to allow for safe social distancing at all three screenings, with tickets priced at £25.

Food will also be provided with Itchen Valley Country Park’s Woodland Café offering pizza and chicken meal deals.

Artistic Director at The Point Sacha Lee says: “We’ve always wanted to include a drive-in event as part of Eastleigh Film Festival, and now we can.

“We will miss working closely with local businesses and organisations this year in finding new fun and quirky screening spaces, but we’re enjoying working with Itchen Valley Country Park to bring our audiences an unforgettable drive-in experience that will not disappoint.”

Eastleigh Film Festival was established in 2014 and since then screenings have taken place at unique and unusual locations across the borough with highlights from previous years including Top Gun at Southampton Airport.
