• Groundhog Day
• Stand by Me
• Back to the Future trilogy
• E.T.
• The Goonies
• Mrs. Doubtfire
• Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
• Jurassic Park

Following in the footsteps of countries like Germany and South Korea, itison’s expert event team have put plans in place for Scotland’s first socially distanced Drive In including:

• Ticket scanning through closed car windows
• Socially distanced toilet queues for a no stress pee
• Gourmet street food takeaway from on-site caterers inc toasted marshmallows
• In car quizzes and our famous Caraoke!
• Refunds promised to ticket-holders if the event should get cancelled or postponed

Oli Norman, CEO of itison said: “We’ve been running Drive In since 2013 giving thousands of families magical memories, that’s needed now more than ever! We want to give people something fun to look forward to this Summer!

“Our world-class events team are working behind the scenes on our first ever socially distanced Drive In and one that is fun and feel good, because everyone needs a smile on their face right now!”

itison Drive In Movies series of events has attracted over 200,000 people to screenings of iconic movies in matching locations including all eight Harry Potter films shown against the stunning mountain backdrop of Glencoe, Jaws by the sea at Troon, Top Gun at Edinburgh Airport and Christmas classics every December at Loch Lomond Shores which sell out within minutes.
