Christmas drive-in cinema arrives in Southport this weekend – with families able to order movie snacks straight to their car window! 

Moonlight Drive In brings a series of affordable classic festive films to the big screen at Victoria Park starting this Friday (9th December 2022) and running through to Sunday, 18th December 2022. 

They start this Friday with Home Alone (6pm) and Love Actually (8.30pm). Saturday movies include Frozen (2.30pm), Home Alone 2 (6pm) and Last Christmas (8.30pm). 

Sunday sees Elf (2.30pm), The Muppets Christmas Carol (6pm) and How The Grinch Stole Christmas (8.30pm). 

Bookings are available here: www.moonlightdrivein.co.uk

Other movies coming up include: Polar Express, Nativity, Nativity 2, The Santa Clause, Deck The Halls, and Jingle All The Way. 

Older movie-goers will love films including Die Hard, Die Hard 2, It’s A Wonderful Life, Love Actually and Last Christmas. 

There will be a choice of film times too with matinees at 2.30pm, early evening showings at 6pm and later evening screenings at 8.30pm. 

Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis with Home Alone close to selling out already. 

You can even order food straight to your car, with Southport firm Cake Corner providing a variety of got and cold drinks, toasties, bacon barns, their famous home-baked cakes and other treats. People simply order via the Moonlight Drive In website and helpers will bring your order direct to your car window. 

Christmas drive-in movies are a great novelty way for families to enjoy watching festive films together. 

They add to a wide range of Christmas events taking place in Southport this year, with Southport BID organising events such as a Christmas Grotto, Christmas Carriage Rides, Elf Parties, a Gingerbread Trail and an Illustrate Illuminate Trail. 

Moonlight Drive In Managing Director Scott Mackin said: 

“We are really excited to be bringing drive-in movies to Southport this Christmas! 

“Everything is coming together now, we are looking forward to the first screenings on Friday. 

“The reaction from people has been fantastic. There has been huge interest, tickets for Home Alone have nearly sold out. 

“We have lots of great Christmas movies for people to choose from, with screenings at different times to suit people of all ages. 

“People will be able to drive into Victoria Park through the gate on Rotten Row, next to the Ho Lee Chow restaurant. There will be a one-way system in place with everyone exiting at the Duke Street entrance near Morrisons supermarket. 

“People will be able to tune into the sound via the 97.7FM frequency. We will have lots of stewards on site to help anyone with any questions on the night. 

“People are welcome to bring their own food, and we also have food available on site through Cake Corner. People can order things like toasties, popcorn, bacon barms, and Cake Corner’s home-made cakes, and hot or cold drinks, through our website – we will then bring the food and drink straight to your car window!

“It saves people having to walk out and carry items back for their family, although we will also have a kiosk on site if people want to come and order from that directly.”

Movie-goers will be able to sit back and enjoy watching their favourite films without leaving the comfort and warmth of their own car. 

Scott said: “This is something very different for people this Christmas! It’s a great novelty and a really fun experience. We can’t wait. 

“It is a very affordable and inexpensive night out for the whole family. 

“When people come and watch the movies we would love them to take pictures and then post on social media to let other people know what it’s like and what they think.”
