Drive-in movie theatres are coming to Britain as the country searches for safe ways to socialise in the age of coronavirus.  

Grease, The Blues Brothers and Back to the Future will be among the classic films being aired at medieval castles and stately homes, in a bizarre mix of American and British culture. 

Warwick Castle, Knebworth House and Blenheim Palace have agreed to take part in the event brought by The Luna Cinema, host of popular open-air film screenings in Britain. 

Its founder George Wood told The Evening Standard's London Indoors: 'We've managed to make every aspect of the event fully compliant with social distancing regulations.

'From the way they tickets are scanned through to the provision of food and drink, audiences can attend our drive in screenings with confidence, and return to one of the things we've all been missing most in lockdown - enjoying a great film on a giant screen under the stars.

The Luna Cinema will be hosting dozens of screenings at London's Allianz Park, Warwick Castle, Blenheim Palace and Knebworth House next month


'We plan to commence open air cinema screenings as soon as it is safe to do so, when the official advice allows, but in the meantime, we can't wait to welcome audiences for a fantastic drive in cinema experience.'

Mr Wood told The Guardian that moviegoers will never have to leave their cars unless they have to use the bathroom. 

License plates will be scanned, and attendees will be given directions to pre-assigned parking spots. 

Film fans can pre-order food and drink, which will be dropped off on car bonnets by waiters on roller skates and scooters.
