Coronavirus: How drive-in raves and cinemas will work in the UK
May 30, 2020
What comes to mind when you think of drive-in cinemas?
It might be memories of watching Danny and Sandy's date night in Grease or something more modern, like scenes from Netflix series Riverdale.
But the chances are you've never been to one as it's something that's never really taken off in the UK.
That could be set to change, however, as the events industry looks at new ways to keep us entertained during the coronavirus pandemic.
Social distancing has put a stop to some things we love like gigs and trips to the cinema, but some companies are looking at how to be creative - by setting up drive-in events to make the most of the summer weather.
Henley Festival has been replaced with a three day drive-in and there are movies and raves already planned for the summer.
'I'd definitely recommend a drive-in rave'
In France and Germany people have sat in their cars to be part of church services in car parks .
And in the German town of Schuttorf the first drive-in rave happened in front of 500 people.
Pia Hofener, 20, was one of those who attended the rave in the car park of Club Index.
She said it was "funny at the beginning" to dance in her car and took a while to get used to.
"We arrived at 6.30pm to be one of the first into the rave," Pia tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
"We were pointed to our parking space and had to broadcast the music through our own car radio.
