itison paved the way for Drive In events across Scotland with an eight-year history of sold-out events and 5* reviews for over 200,000 movie goers, including Scotland’s first socially-distanced Drive In last summer and now they’re bringing it back this May Bank Holiday weekend with not one, but two Drive In movie events.

Running from Friday 28th May to Sunday 30th May the movie line up will see all Harry Potter movies and the Batman trilogy screened against the transformed backdrop of Hopetoun House (or Wayne Manor and Hogwarts!)

Pioneering Scotland’s first socially-distanced Drive In last Summer to 5* reviews, itison’s expert event team have put plans in place including:

• Ticket scanning through closed car windows
• Socially distanced toilet queues for a no stress pee
• Gourmet street food takeaway from on-site caterers inc wizard-worthy snacks!
• In car quizzes and our famous Caraoke!
• Refunds guaranteed to ticket-holders if the event should get cancelled or postponed

Oli Norman, CEO of itison said: “Finally, we can get back to delivering amazing experiences! We're thrilled to announce an epic line up of Harry Potter and the Batman Trilogy against the stunning backdrop of Hopetoun House (or Wayne Manor!).

“Having pioneered Scotland's first socially distanced Drive-In last Summer and alongside the First Minister's lockdown easing plan we're confident it's going to be a fresh start for great times ahead shared with our friends and family.”

itison Drive In Movies series of events has attracted over 200,000 people to screenings of iconic movies in matching locations including all eight Harry Potter films shown against the stunning mountain backdrop of Glencoe, Jaws by the sea at Troon, Top Gun at Edinburgh Airport and Christmas classics every December at Loch Lomond Shores which sell out within minutes.

Tickets are priced at £32 per car (inc. booking fee) and go on sale at 7.30am next Thursday 25th March exclusively at www.itison.com/drivein
