Ashton Gate stadium to host drive-in cinema screenings this summer

Ashton Gate stadium has announced a four-night line-up of feel-good movies this summer.

In a statement today (May 22), Bristol Sport said: "With the coronavirus pandemic putting a halt to standard sporting and entertainments events at Ashton Gate we’ve paired up with Skylight Cinema to offer a safe and enjoyable night out at the movies.

"The stadium will play host to four evenings of family-friendly films starting on Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, with a second weekend on Friday, August 21, and Saturday, August 22.

"Ashton Gate’s Winterstoke Road car park, which has previously been the home to the Euro and World Cup Fan Village, will now transform for a night of entertainment - watched from the comfort and safety of your own car.

With a host of additional entertainment available before the 'main event', movie-goers will be able to park up, order drinks and food and relax in their cars in front of a 10m-wide inflatable screen with in-car Bluetooth speaker technology to enable best audio quality possible."

Full details of the films and how to book will be revealed soon.

The events are subject to the latest Government guidelines on Covid-19.
