Movie lovers revving up for Telford drive-in
Drive-in movie showings are set to transform a Telford car park into a scene from 50s America.
Silver screen classics Top Gun and Grease will be shown over the May Bank Holiday outside the International Centre.
Film fans will get the chance to watch the hit movies on a big screen from the comfort of their own car on May 4 and 5.
Telford is the latest town to jump on board the craze for drive-in cinema.
Liverpool will next month open a permanent drive-in, Route 66, which will have a capacity of around 200 cars.
Drive-in cinema has always been popular in America, but has only grown as a leisure pursuit in the UK in recent years.
Route 66 spokesman Lee Seddon said: "Route 66 in Manchester was the first outdoor digital cinema in Europe when it opened in 2012.
"There is demand for a more exciting way to watch latest releases than in your typical multiplex."
The owners of the waterfront at Liverpool say the drive-through cinema is seen as an ideal way to bring people into the area at night. Ian Pollitt, development investment surveyor at Peel Holdings, said it was a great model for towns like Telford to follow, adding: "To see the Clarence Dock area animated with many visitors will be a great sight."
