Ebbsfleet To Become Drive-In Cinema
« on: August 18, 2008, 09:50:10 PM »

Ebbsfleet station is to become a drive-in cinema for the August bank holiday weekend under plans by high speed train operator Eurostar to raise the international station's profile (link below.)

Eurostar will be showing two movies with a French theme - The Bourne Ultimatum starring Matt Damon on Saturday 23 August, and Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor on Sunday 24 August. Moulin Rouge is set in Paris while the Bourne Ultimatum includes scenes in both London and the French capital.

An advertising campaign to attract visitors to the drive-in promotion will feature on local radio stations and newspapers. Tickets for this event will be distributed via the media and at the Eurostar shop at Bluewater shopping centre.

The films will be shown in one of the car parks at Ebbsfleet International, with space for 500 cars each evening. There will be two big screens, with the soundtrack broadcast and received via car radios. In addition there will be live entertainment, refreshments and toilet facilities available.

This is the latest strand in Eurostar’s ongoing plan to put its latest Kent station firmly on the map. Ebbsfleet International has a catchment area of 10 million people.
