"You’ll have your own wireless speaker system that sits on your dashboard, which will be properly sanitised between uses.

People can sit in their cars or enjoy the film under the stars

"We will also be broadcasting the audio over the PA system for those that wish to sit outside their vehicles."

Drinks will be available from an outdoor bar.
