A unique drive-in music festival and cinema experience will take place near Lincoln this summer, with social distancing measures in place.
Nightflix Drive-in Cinema from Colchester, which is run by Cinex event management, will be coming to Newark Showground from July 1 for what it describes as the UK’s first drive-in festival consisting of live tribute acts.
The 10 night drive-in music festival will feature tribute bands for Take That, ABBA and The Killers.
Tickets range from £30 to £40 per car and include entrance to your chosen tribute act, a light show and an individual parking slot – click here for more information.
As well as a festival atmosphere, there will also be street food takeaway offers available, to be enjoyed from the comfort and safety of your own vehicle.
This event will be followed by a regular drive-in cinema experience licensed to show new release films from July.
