The Great British Drive In will run 6 days a week (Tues - Sun) over the summer with a varied program for all and have the highest quality LED screen meaning films in the daytime will be just as good quality as at night.

Organiser Craig Wilkinson says
‘There is something for everyone in this program of events and it really is a summer festival of great film and entertainment and great food to be enjoyed safely in your car or if the weather is great to bring your deck chairs and enjoy it outside of your car. If you want to laugh we have comedy, if you want to entertain the kids out of the house we’ll keep them entertained. We have Bollywood, Hollywood and some of the most important documentaries created to educate, enlighten and become more aware of the world around us that we may not otherwise be exposed to. To be able to experience these films and events against the stunning backdrop of Sandon Hall is a real treat and promises to be an excellent experience for all. We are also delighted to be working with Digbeth Dining Club on our food offering Thursday’s through to Sunday’s. DDC has deservedly created a great reputation for excellence and quality in the dining industry and we are really excited to be collaborating with them on The Great British Drive In.
The First 3 weeks are programmed and available on the Great British Drive In Website.
Digbeth Dining Club have recently opened their click and collect service in Hockley, Birmingham with great success, innovating how they can safely serve their guests with the quality they are renowned for during Social Distancing.
