Scotland itison drive-in cinema at Loch Lomond to return this Christmas

Drive-in cinemas in Scotland are back this year and some beloved Christmas films, new and old, are set to be shown at Loch Lomond over the festive season.

Offering a slice of nostalgia, drive-in cinemas evoke an older time, but they are can be an of-the-moment socially distant way to see the movies.

Deals website itison is bringing back its 'Drive-in Movies Christmas' from Friday 17th December to December 24.

Set up in Loch Lomond for the eighth year after being cancelled in 2020, the theatre is Scotland's biggest drive-in cinema.

Tickets will go on sale on November 10 at 7:30am for £32 and itison says tickets will sell out in "minutes".

Attendees will be able to tuck into gourmet street food from Scottish caterers, plus churros and sweet treats from Glasgow's Loop and Scoop.

The itison drive-in cinema will run from December 17-24 (itison/Nick Ponty)

Ensconced in your comfy car, theatre-goers can participate in in-car quizzes and 'car-aoke'.

Christmas movie favourites to be shown include Elf, Home Alone Die Hard, Polar Express, Love Actually and The Holiday.

Oli Norman, CEO of itison said: "We’ve been running Drive-In since 2013, giving thousands of families magical memories every Christmas.

"We were gutted at being forced to cancel last year at a time when people needed something fun and festive, so we’re delighted to be back this year and can’t wait to help everyone get into the Christmas spirit!"

Past drive-in showings include Batman at Hopetoun House, all eight Harry Potter films shown against the mountain backdrop of Glencoe, Jaws by the sea at Troon, Top Gun at Edinburgh Airport and Christmas classics every December at Loch Lomond Shores.
