AN outdoor drive-in cinema is coming to Himley Hall and Park this summer.

Four family films will be shown across the weekend of Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August for movie fans to enjoy from their cars following social distancing rules.

An online poll has been set up to help choose the films to be shown, which people can vote for on Dudley Council's Facebook page, @dudleyborough.

Tickets will go on sale soon at £20 per car and will only be available online from Eventbrite via the Himley Hall and Park website.

Numbers will also be limited to ensure social distancing.

Councillor Ian Kettle, cabinet member responsible for halls, said: "We are delighted to be able to bring this event to our prestigious Himley Hall site. With the restrictions that the Covid-19 lockdown has brought this will be a chance for families to enjoy some quality time out of their homes in a safe environment.

“We really do want to hear people’s thoughts on what films they would like to see screened and I would encourage them to visit our Facebook page and tell us their thoughts via our online poll.”

Visitors will be able to take their own food and drinks, but alcohol is not allowed.

Cars will be separated following the two metre social distancing regulations and people will be able to stream the audio from the film via their car radios.

Toilet provision will also be available following safety guidelines.
