In the run up to last Christmas, a string of smash hit Hollywood movies including classics such as Frozen, Grease and Dirty Dancing were screened at the town's first ever drive-in cinema.

The cinema was based at the Keepmoat from December 4-10 and attracted hundreds of viewers, who watched a feast of movies from the comfort of their cars.

The Moonlight Drive-in Cinema describes itself as the UK's biggest drive in cinema and is based in Scarborough.

Founded in 2014, the outdoor cinema specialists now operate a number of locations across the UK.
