Drive-in movie festival planned for Eastbourne – but which film do you want to watch?

The choices are Mamma Mia, Moulin Rouge, Grease, Frozen 2 and Hairspray.

The movie festival is being looked at by Eastbourne council as the future of July’s Beach Life Festival is in the balance due to the coronavirus.

A council spokesperson said, “This July Beach Life festival is going to the movies, but we need your help.

“We want people to vote for the movies people would like to be shown at this socially distanced, drive-in event.”
