This year will see the revival of a near-extinct pastime for everyone to enjoy with the launch of ‘Racecourse Drive In’ - the first drive-in cinema, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs - in 30 years.
And so the media release spiel goes: "Racecourse Drive In Cinema is giving modern movie lovers a classic cinematic experience. It’s a time-honoured spectacle under the stars offering an evening like no other, and just like the golden days, families with kids will love it as much as couples and friends. It’s the perfect way to spend weekends after sunset.
“I think this is the right time to launch a new drive-in, especially as the eastern suburbs haven’t seen one since the 80s. The popularity of outdoor entertainment is growing, and I really wanted to create something the whole family could experience,” says Paul Rosenberg, founder of Racecourse Drive In Cinema.
"The movie magic of the 50s and 60s will come alive this year at the Racecourse Drive In. It’s the new scene for all ages to re-live or experience for the first time the unique culture of the original drive in movie theatre. Nostalgic old classics and the latest releases will be shown on the big screen while you simply roll up in your car and enjoy. Relax and kick back with your own selection of snacks, control the volume just how you like it and let the kids fall asleep as the credits roll.
The joy of the drive in, just like back in its peak, is that you don’t have to dress up or find parking and kids will love going out in their pyjamas with a stash of pillows.
The Oncology Children’s Foundation is proudly supported throughout the entire season, with $1 from every ticket sold committed to assisting their valuable funding of childhood cancer research."
Opening night is Friday, July 2 with a charity night screening of classic, ‘Grease’ at 6.30pm. The season will be every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night from July to September.
Tickets are $49.00 + $4.50 booking fee per vehicle with "A Reserve" positions, $69.00 with $4.50 booking fee per vehicle. More information at http://www.racecoursedrivein.com.au/

Instead of playing toy drive-in theatres at Randwick, come out to Blacktown with its giant 35 metre screen, first release films, twin screens, cafeteria, and one price admission in a parkland setting. It's right next to the M4.
