Drive-Thru movies return with a Christmas flavour...

A POPULAR outdoor movie event is returning to Loughborou­gh - with a Christmas twist.

Outdoor cinema provider Motion in Motion will be back at Prestwold Driving Centre with three days of festive family films.

Guests can choose from screenings of classic Christmas movies suitable for the whole family, as well as some cult films for grownups, too.

Kicking off the schedule will be Christmas family favourite Elf, followed by Home Alone, Miracle on 34 Street and The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Later viewings will show cult classics Gremlins and Die Hard.

The company hopes to recreate the magic of watching a movie in the open-air, but from the warmth and comfort of your own car.

With a large screen easily visible from within your car, the film’s soundtrack is transmitte­d directly into your vehicle through your audio system - meaning you can have the sound as loud (or as quiet) as you like.

That also means you get to sing along to those Christmas songs without anyone hearing.

On-site catering facilities will offer the chance to stock up on retro refreshmen­ts including hot dogs, stone baked pizza and candy floss.

There will be a mulled wine station for adults and non-drivers, as well as plenty of non-alcoholic festive beverages.

You can even be served directly at your car by Christmas elves with popcorn, sweets, drinks and other snacks.

Gremlins will also be showing for older guests

So when can you see your favourite festive film? The schedule for the event is as follows: Thursday, December 21 4pm - Elf 7.30pm - Home Alone Friday, December 22 4pm - Miracle on 34 Street 7.15pm - Elf 10pm - Gremlins Saturday, December 23 4pm - The Muppet Christmas Carol 7pm - Elf 10pm - Die Hard Prices are charged at £28 per car (not per person), and you can have as many people inside the vehicle as it is allowed to carry.

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and pillows, and don their Christmas jumpers or onesies.

The event is being held at Prestwold Driving Centre, Prestwold Lane, Loughborou­gh, LE12 5SH.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased through Motion in Motion’s Facebook page.
