A free drive-in cinema is coming to Hobart’s Regatta Grounds this month.
The initiative is part of the City of Hobart’s Out In The Open program, aiming to get people out and about in the community.
The Princess Bride will be shown on Friday August 18 with Happy Feet on the Saturday night and E.T. on the Sunday night.
Gates will open at 6 PM each night, with only 100 spaces available each session.

Cars can queue from 30 minutes before the gates open.
Council say the event is on a ‘first in, first parked’ basis, with no pre-booked tickets available.

The movie sound will be broadcast on an FM radio station – so you can listen in your car via your car stereo, or on a portable FM radio.
A number of food vendors will be on-site, offering hot food, desserts, non-alcoholic drinks and movie classics like popcorn.
HOW YOU CAN WATCH THE MOVIE:
- From inside your car via the windscreen
- With the rear hatch door open, reverse parked
- Sitting on top of your car bonnet
