The event is sponsored by Lancaster Way Business Park, where the drive-in will take place once again, and is in conjunction with Babylon Cinema at The Maltings.

In September 2020, more than 500 people dressed up as their favourite film characters and enjoyed a singalong from their cars as part of Ely’s first drive-in cinema event. (Image: BABYLON ARTS)

Claire Somerville, Babylon ARTS’ chief executive, said: “We’re so pleased to be able to offer this exciting cinema experience, whilst we continue to make plans to reopen Babylon Cinema at The Maltings at the end of May.
