By popular demand, Wessex Cancer Support’s Christmas Drive-In Cinema will return to the Island this December.
The charity’s festive film event will run over three days at Robin Hill Adventure Park,
between December 12 and 14.
Christmas favourites, such as Home Alone, Love Actually, Elf and The Holiday will be among
the eight festive films shown on the giant LED screen.
“We’re really excited to bring back the Christmas Drive-In Cinema this year,” said Lorraine White, Wessex Cancer Support’s Head of Community, Events and Partnerships.
“We know how much people love to watch a Christmas classic on the big screen from the comfort of their car.
“After a short hiatus, we’re so pleased to bring the event back to Robin Hill where it first started in 2018.
“Thank you to the team at Robin Hill for having us back, it’s going to be a great weekend and we can’t wait to see everyone there.
“A huge thanks also to our sponsors, WH Brading, White Windows, Hose Rhodes Dickson, Isle of Wight College and ICR Touch for making this event possible.”
Tickets for the Christmas Drive-In Cinema are available from today (Tuesday). The suggested
minimum donation is £25 per car.
Money raised from the event will help the charity continue to support local people affected
by cancer.
A cancer diagnosis can turn people’s lives upside down.
"Our cancer support centre in Newport sees hundreds of people every year providing vital services such as counselling and therapies, to help them cope with cancer,” added Lorraine.
“We’re really excited to organise such a fun, festive event in the run up to Christmas, and, with the help of everyone who attends, we hope to raise a significant amount of money so we can continue to be there for local people who need us.
“Please get behind us as much as you can. Thank you.”
The films start on Friday 12 December, with The Muppet’s Christmas Carol followed by Die Hard.
Elf, Home Alone and Love Actually will be screened on Saturday 13 December, with The
Polar Express, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and The Holiday set for Sunday 14
December.
