Pratis Barns wedding venue owners Patrick and Nicola Gilmour are to turn their property into a drive-in cinema while Covid puts couples' celebrations on hold.
They will open on August 28 for a weekend of popular movies at their grounds near Leven in Fife.
Patrick said: “We have a large, beautiful space here at Pratis Barns and were looking for a fun and sociable idea to bring people together in a safe way. The drive-in cinema experience is a great opportunity for a family outing, a different kind of girls’ night out, or a classic date night."
The Gilmours revamped Pratis Barns as a wedding venue after buying the Grade B-listed house, grounds and outbuildings last year through their 2G Events business.
The £35 entry tickets for Pictures @ Pratis will include a £10 money off voucher for food and drink at the event. It will offer an in-car dining menu including woodfired pizzas from Fallones and dishes prepared by Patrick, a chef who is also Scottish Wedding Caterer of the Year. Coffee and cakes will be provided by the team from Defender Blender.
The outdoor cinema will use a 10m x 5m LED screen and the soundtrack will be played through cars’ FM stereo systems.
Films begin showing at 5pm August 28 with Pixar classic Up , followed by Dirty Dancing at 9pm. Saturday’s bill will feature Despicable Me at noon, The Greatest Showman at 4pm and Rocketman at 9pm. On Sunday, Toy Story will be shown at noon, Grease at 4pm and the Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga version of the hit A Star is Born at 9pm.
