Retro Drive-in Movies returns to Leopardstown Racecourse this April.
After a long four months of lockdown, the drive-in cinema will give us all a great excuse to do something different.
Movies on the bill include:
A Star Is Born, Joker, Trolls World Tour, The Greatest Showman, Mrs Doubtfire and lots more.
While all screenings
Safety and comfort remains the number one priority at all screenings.
As a result there will be a limited number of cars allowed entry, everyone will stay inside their cars during the movie, and no cash will pass hands.
Ryan O Neill, Managing Director of Double R Media said We are delighted to be coming back to offer an escape for bored children and adults in the coming weeks.

In pre-pandemic era Ireland, the mention of a drive-in movie would have conjured up images of 1950 s suburban America for the majority of people, and while several drive-in movie theatres already existed across the country, the pandemic really gave them their time to shine.
This considerable rise in popularity can be contributed to the fact that while public health guidelines closed down cinemas, museums, galleries and other cultural institutions, drive-in movies provide the public with a collective form of entertainment in a way that enforces social distancing, keeping people safe within the protective steel bubble of their car.
The drive-in movie experience also provides an opportunity to rewatch older films that haven’t been circulated on the big screen in quite some time, primarily due to the fact that they aren’t showing the latest blockbusters, but instead screening many timeless classics.
