Enjoy drive-in events
Movie fans can join in the outdoor entertainment from the safety and comfort of their own cars as a series of family favourite movies at Suncoast.
FROM 20 to 30 August, movie fans can join in the outdoor entertainment from the safety and comfort of their own cars as a series of family favourite movies, blockbuster DVD hits and golden oldie movies are screened outdoors at Suncoast, Durban. In early May, Impi Concept Events launched Parkflix, a drive-in style entertainment solution to provide KZN fans with their fix of (socially-distanced) entertainment through a host of open-air movie screenings. As lockdown restrictions slowly start to ease, event organisers have announced a partnership with Marriott Investment Managers and the official start date of Thursday, 20 August. Up to 200 vehicles can be accommodated per show, with attendees arriving in their cars and tuning in via their FM radio sets. The concept ticks all the boxes in terms of safety, as entertainment is displayed on the 12m wide large screen and food is ordered and delivered on-site, giving attendees no reason to leave the car – other than to visit the bathroom. Movie screenings will take place at 6.30pm on Thursday through to Sunday, with an additional 2.30pm screening on both Saturday and Sunday. Movies to be aired include Bad Boys 2 featuring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith (20 August), Joker (21 August), Lego Batman Movie (22 August), A Star is Born (22 August) and Smallfoot (23 August), Jerry Maguire (23 August). Oceans 8 will be on 27 August, followed by Valentine?s Day (28 August), The Jungle Book 2 (29 August), How To Be Single (29 August), The (original) Lion King (30 August) and Batman vs Superman (30 August). No movie experience is complete without popcorn. As such, each car will receive one box of Marriott popcorn and one bottle of still aQuelle water. Attendees are welcome to take their own food and non-alcoholic drinks or they can purchase from the dedicated Suncoast food vendors who will deliver orders directly to cars. No alcohol, cigarettes or firearms are allowed on site, and no picnic spots are to be set up outside of cars. Stringent social distancing regulations will be adhered to at all times. Patrons will be required to wear their masks when making their way to the ablutions.Cost per show is R220 per car of two people, with R50 per additional person. Children under eight are free. Tickets are available immediately via www.webtickets.co.za.For personal enquiries around the potential booking of the Parkflix venue and setup for private functions, email: info@splashyfen.co.za.
