The UK’s leading outdoor cinema company, The Luna Cinema, has announced its return to the NEC with an amazing new drive-in season opening on Monday 12 April.

Offering state-of-the-art sound and visuals, using the UK’s highest definition outdoor screens, in-car digital sound solutions and a new click & collect food and drink offer, The Luna Cinema will welcome visitors to the NEC Campus for the ultimate drive-in cinema experience. This follows a hugely successful series of events throughout December when The Luna Winter Drive In Cinema took up residency at the NEC and attracted over 8,000 cars over a three-week period.

Film buffs are in for a treat with the upcoming season, as The Luna Cinema celebrates the 25-year anniversary of cult classic Romeo + Juliet, alongside screenings of blockbuster classics; Grease, Back to the Future, Pulp Fiction and Dirty Dancing. For those who want to watch newer releases, the series of events includes; The Greatest Showman, Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman. The NEC will host a single screening, every evening, across 19 dates, concluding with a showing of Pretty Woman on Saturday 3 May.

George Wood, founder of The Luna Cinema, said: “We are incredibly excited to be announcing our Spring drive-in season, kicking off on April 12th, and to be able to offer a fun experience to people seeking post-lockdown entertainment.

“We’ve managed to make every aspect of the event fully compliant with social distancing regulations, from the way tickets are scanned, through to the provision of food and drink. Audiences can feel confident that we have created an experience that is safe, allowing them to return to spectacular events."

Richard Mann, New Business Director, further added: “We are looking forward to welcoming The Luna Cinema back to the NEC after such a successful festive season. The event operation is impressive and the feedback from visitors and all involved previously was fantastic. This next season promises to continue in that success and offer the public an opportunity to once again enjoy live events.”
