If you miss the magic of cinema, get ready for a blockbuster summer with tonnes of new releases and old classics finding their way onto big screens at outdoor and drive-in cinemas around Hampshire.
Longmoor
Tuesday 27th April - Thursday 3rd June 2021

Nightflix Drive-in Cinema has a tremendous line up for this summer with a mixture of new releases such as the latest DC film Wonder Woman 1984, Chaos Walking, Those Who Wish Me Dead (the new Angelina Jolie action film) and possibly (to be confirmed) films such as Marvel's Black Widow, The new James Bond movie No Time to Die, Top Gun: Maverick and Cruella. But if old school cinema is more your thing, showings of The Empire Strikes Back, Grease and Back to the Future (dates to be confirmed) are the ultimate nostalgia trip.
