EVENT INFORMATION
DRIVING INTO THE SITE
Enter through the main Sandon Hall gates, opposite the Dog and Doublet
SPEED
Always keep your speed to an absolute maximum of 10mph in the estate
and 5mph when you enter the arena (after your ticket is scanned)
TICKETS
Tickets will be checked on site before you enter the arena, ask the
member of staff if youre interested in an upgrade. Please make sure
you bought the right ticket for the amount of passengers in your car.
DISPLAY
At the Great British Drive In films are played on the huge 100 sqm
screen. For live entertainment such as music or comedy we film the
acts on the stage and display them on the screen.
SOUND
Audio is sent out over FM transmitters to your radio. All youve got to
tune your car radio to 87.7FM. At times we play the sound at a low
level from our stage, this shouldnt be a substitute for a radio. If
you want the best experience please either tune your car radio or
bring a personal radio.
In very rare circumstances there can be a delay between audio and
video due to the specific manufacturer of the vehicle. In this
situation, please speak to a member of the team.
PARKING
Our site allows everyone a clear view of the screen and we make sure
everyone has plenty of space around them. In busier shows we may ask
larger cars to park slightly further back to allow everyone a great
view. If you would like to sit in your boot, that is ok, but given the
height of boots you will be placed towards the back of site on busier
shows. Please always, always, tell a member of staff if you arent
happy with your view.
SITTING OUTSIDE YOUR CAR
Please feel free to set up seats outside your car, just always tell
the staff member whos parking you so they can leave enough room out
the front ( You must sit outside the front of the car).
Please also make sure you have a portable radio. It is important to
note, this is a drive in cinema experience and sound is played by the
individual speaker system of each guests car/portable radio, therefore
if you sit outside your car you may experience some sound delay around
the arena.
GETTING OUT YOUR CAR
We encourage guests to get out of their car and enjoy the grounds or
visit the food and drinks vendors, just always be mindful of other
guests and maintain social distancing.
Keep your children close by and they must remain in your bubble at all
times. Children must be supervised at all times, there is a large
amount of vehicle movement and live animals onsite.
BAR
For all our events we have a fully stocked bar, including beer from
local brew house Freedom Brewery, a large selection of ready to drink
cans and wine (even some cocktails). We also have a great selection of
soft drinks, sweets, chocolate and of course ice cream.
FOOD
We strive to offer food at all our events. As standard practice we
have our executive chef from Monday - Friday serving breakfast options
all day and then a meat and vegetarian option for the evening shows.
From Thursday - Sunday we are joined by Digbeth Dining Club. We aim to
announce specific vendors and their opening times as early in the week
as possible.
Food orders will stop being taken 45 mins into each movie.
COFFEE
We have partnered with a local coffee house, the pony espresso who
come on an event by event basis. We serve coffee and tea from the bar
if the coffee house isnt with us for that show.
QUEUES

social distancing by always being mindful of other guests.

GOLDEN CIRCLE

the screen and you will also be able to order food to your car, from
your smartphone. This works by scanning a QR code we give you on entry
which brings up our full menu. You then make payment on your
smartphone and our staff will bring your order directly to your car.

come and let you know and where we cant substitute your order we will
give you a refund.

to leave during the movie thats fine, just let us guide you out. If
you know you may need to leave early tell us before you park and we
can put you closer to the exit road.

even better, take it with you.
