A clown fish named Marlin lives in the Great Barrier Reef and loses his son, Nemo, after he ventures into the open sea, despite his father's constant warnings about many of the ocean's dangers. Nemo is abducted by a boat and netted up and sent to a dentist's office in Sydney. While Marlin ventures off to try to retrieve Nemo, Marlin meets a fish named Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. The companions travel a great distance, encountering various dangerous sea creatures such as sharks, anglerfish and jellyfish, in order to rescue Nemo from the dentist's office, which is situated by Sydney Harbour. While the two are searching the ocean far and wide, Nemo and the other sea animals in the dentist's fish tank plot a way to return to the sea to live their lives free again.

Driving into the site

Enter through the main Sandon Hall gates, opposite the Dog and Doublet

Speed

Always keep your speed to an absolute maximum of 10mph in the estate and 5mph when you enter the arena (after your ticket is scanned)

Tickets

Tickets will be checked on site before you enter the arena, ask the member of staff if you’re interested in an upgrade. Please make sure you bought the right ticket for the amount of passengers in your car.

Display

At the Great British Drive In films are played on the huge 100 sqm screen. For live entertainment such as music or comedy we film the acts on the stage and display them on the screen.

Sound

Audio is sent out over FM transmitters to your radio. All you’ve got to tune your car radio to 87.7FM. At times we play the sound at a low level from our stage, this shouldn’t be a substitute for a radio. If you want the best experience please either tune your car radio or bring a personal radio.

In very rare circumstances there can be a delay between audio and video due to the specific manufacturer of the vehicle. In this situation, please speak to a member of the team.

Parking

Our site allows everyone a clear view of the screen and we make sure everyone has plenty of space around them. In busier shows we may ask larger cars to park slightly further back to allow everyone a great view. If you would like to sit in your boot, that is ok, but given the height of boots you will be placed towards the back of site on busier shows. Please always, always, tell a member of staff if you aren’t happy with your view.

Sitting outside your car

Please feel free to set up seats outside your car, just always tell the staff member who’s parking you so they can leave enough room out the front (you must sit outside the front of the car).

Please also make sure you have a portable radio. It is important to note, this is a drive in cinema experience and sound is played by the individual speaker system of each guest’s car/portable radio, therefore if you sit outside your car you may experience some sound delay around the arena.
