Just when you thought Summer was over... itison, organisers of Scotland’s biggest and best Drive In, announce they are set to return this July with Scotland’s first socially distanced Drive In and this time, they’re going feel good!

Their Christmas Drive an annual pilgrimage sells out in minutes and now they’re looking to bring the feel-good factor to thousands of families post-lockdown.
Following in the footsteps of countries like Germany and South Korea, itison’s expert event team are putting plans in place for a socially distanced Drive In including:
• Ticket scanning through closed car windows
• Socially distanced toilet queues (or complimentary bottle if you don’t want to leave the car)
• Gourmet street food takeaway from on-site caterers inc toasted marshmallows
• In car quizzes and their famous Caraoke!
• A movie line-up of feel-good classics and blockbusters to bring a much-needed smile to everyone’s face!
• Refunds promised to ticket-holders if the event should get cancelled or postponed
• Tickets donated to NHS key workers on VIP guestlist
Oli Norman, CEO of itison said: “We’ve been running Drive In since 2013 giving thousands of families magical memories, that’s needed now more than ever! We want to give people some hope and a fun thing to look forward to when it’s safe to do so.
“We also want to thank our incredible NHS key workers and will be donating tickets on a VIP guestlist for them to enjoy a well-deserved fun day out with their family and friends.
“Our world-class events team are working behind the scenes to plan our first ever socially distanced Drive In and one that is fun and feel good, because everyone needs a smile on their face right now! Of course, we’ll only launch when is safe to do so, hopefully we’ll see everyone in July!”
