What’s On at the Event

Here’s everything you can enjoy at a drive-in screening:

• Blockbuster films in full HD, shown on mobile LED screens the size of two double-decker buses

• FM radio audio stream, where you can adjust volume in your car for perfect sound quality via Retro’s own radio station

• Street food stalls on site: burgers, pizzas, doughnuts, coffees, chips & dips and popcorn available to purchase

• Encore Drive-In Nights - concert films and music specials that recreate live-gig vibes in your car

• Bring your dog! Well-behaved, leashed pooches are very welcome

• Themed events and seasonal films, e.g. Christmas favourites like Home Alone, Elf, The Polar Express, plus cheeky picks like Die Hard

Additional Information

Events take place at Glenroe Farm in Wicklow. Shows typically run year-round, with summer pop-ups during select months.

• Schedule Highlights:

  • Elf - December 6th

  • Home Alone - December 6th

  • Home Alone 2 - December 7th

• Ticketing & Entry: Online tickets only from RetroDriveIn.ie. Print or show email confirmation and bring ID if needed. Gates open about 40–55 minutes before showtime; free parking in allocated spots on a first-come, first-served basis

Make sure your car stereo is in working order as it's essential for the FM audio feed. We also recommend arriving early to get the best spot. Staff will guide you into position so everyone has a clear view of the screen. Afterwards, stweards will help the cars queue efficiently, so you can expect to be back on the road within 8-10 minutes after the end credits roll.
