The popular drive-in cinema returns to the Isle of Wight this Christmas.

Wessex Cancer Trust will bring the festive films back on the screen in November.

Tickets have today (Thursday) been released for Drive-in Films for Christmas.

The charity will feature six epic festive films over two days at Robin Hill on November 20 and 21.

The films are to be screened on a giant LED screen - with the soundtrack played through each car radio.

The films on the Saturday are:

  • The Polar Express
  • How The Grinch Stole Christmas
  • Love Actually

On the Sunday it will be:

  • Elf
  •  Home Alone
  • The Holiday 

Regional Fundraising Manager Lorraine White said:

“The Christmas drive-in is a real highlight in our fundraising calendar and so many people tell us it has become a family tradition for them, too!

“For many, it now signifies the start of Christmas and what better way to get the season started than with a family trip to our drive-in cinema to see your favourite festive film?

“We're always blown away by the popularity of these events and we’re sure this year’s Christmas drive in will be yet another sell-out success.

“Thank you to everyone who supports Wessex Cancer Trust by coming to our fundraising events, we could not continue to help Island families without you.”

All money raised will help Wessex Cancer Trust support Islanders living with cancer.

Tickets for each screening are limited and are available at www.wessexcancer.org.uk/event/xmas-drive-in.  The earlybird price is £25 per car.

If you’re interested in becoming an event sponsor or advertising your business or Christma event on the big screen at the event, please contact [email protected].
