From Harper's BAZAAR

Sandringham Estate will provide the stunning backdrop to a drive-through movie night like no other, as the Queen opens up her private estate to members of the public.

On Friday 25th September, members of the public will be able to drive onto Sandringham Estate in Norfolk for a unique, socially-distanced cinema experience.

The drive-through will extend to Saturday 26th, and Sunday 27th.

The official Sandringham Estate website said: "Enjoy a wonderful evening in the Sandringham Gardens with the backdrop of Sandringham House.

"Relax and enjoy one or both of these ever popular films whilst enjoying fabulous street food and refreshments from artisan brewers and distillers."

Tickets cost £32.50 for a series of films starting with 1917 and including Rocketman, Toy Story, The Greatest Showman and A Star Is Born.

The Sandringham house is located on a 20,000-acre estate in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and was bought by Queen Victoria in 1892.

It is now privately owned by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, but the 94-year-old monarch isn't expected to return until Christmas.

Her Majesty and Prince Philip are staying indefinitely at Windsor Castle, after relocating at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. The Queen plans to travel to London for public duties when it is safe to do so.
