Drive-In Movie Experience at Sandringham Estate
Royal fans can enjoy a drive-in movie experience at Queen Elizabeth’s country estate in Norfolk, as a three-day pop-up event is due to take place in its grounds towards the end of September.
Discover Sandringham House
Sandringham House is set in 24 hectares of landscaped gardens where the Queen spends Christmas, usually joined by her family. Built in 1870 by the then Prince and Princess of Wales (who later became King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra), the house’s features and furnishings remain much as they were in Edwardian days. The stables now house a museum filled with diverse royal memorabilia, and the vintage-car collection includes the very first royal motor from 1900.
Drive-In Cinema Event Details
The grounds at Sandringham are set for a three-day drive-in cinema experience, hosted by the pop-up cinema company, Enchanted Cinema. Attendees can expect movies shown on a 100ft-high LED screen, with sound transmitted via Bluetooth or auxiliary input to cars’ speakers. Guests will be pleased to find a variety of food vendors each day, offering alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, popcorn, and snacks.
