A NEW drive-in movie cinema is set to open in York.

Moonlight Drive-in Cinema is bringing the unique American experience to Monks Cross Shopping Park this summer.

The summer season at Monks Cross launches on 22 July, and the opening film will be the 1978 classic Grease.

The drive-in movie cinema provides a cinema experience that people can enjoy from the comfort of their own cars. The film’s sound is transmitted directly into the vehicle’s in-car audio system with refreshments delivered to the vehicle’s window. The York venue has capacity for 50 cars.

Moonlight Drive-in Cinema also plans to screen Dirty Dancing, Deadpool, Star Wars - The Force Awakens, Jaws, Back to The Future and many more films over the course of the summer.

Tickets are available at £25 per car by visiting www.moonlightcinema.com/york
