After weeks of only having the television for entertainment, there's a new venue in Skegness where you can still be in your PJs in your own social bubble - and have a great night out.

The launch of the town's new 'drive-in' Moonlight Cinema at the weekend proved a massive success, leaving audiences crying out for more.

Friday night's sell-out showing of the Seventies' musical 'Grease' saw people even arriving in fancy dress and singing along, as well as enjoying a game of musical bingo.

The Saturday night feature, 'Back to the Future', could not have had a more appropriate title as more leisure facilities along the coast re-opened and families came out together for the first time since lockdown began to sample the 'new norm'.

Back to the Future was shown on the second night of the launch of the drive-in Moonlight Cinema in Skegness.

First impressions was how fantastic the venue at the former derelict Kwiksave site in Old Wainfleet Road looks - with its illuminated 'Moonlight Cinema' signage and renovated former supermarket building housing a refeshments kiosk selling all the favourite cinema treats such as hot dogs, popcorn and waffles. There was even a 'mocktail' bar, perfect for the drivers.

The only real indication were were still in the middle of a pandemic was that the toilets on site were placed two metres apart and there were sanitiser stations on the exit.

Cars were guided in rows in front of the large screen and customers were handed 'silent disco' headsets which you could see glowing in the dark while they watched the film.
