The event, which is travelling to different cities around the UK invites passengers of all ages to pull up, sit back and enjoy blockbuster movies, games hosted by Suzuki, comedy and music as well as delicious Americana- themed food, drink and treats served up car-side by delivery app Just Eat from TGI Friday's and Ben & Jerry's.

All entertainment will be beamed straight into guests’ car radios - with safe social-distancing practices in place - to provide a much-needed escape for those missing outdoors entertainmen.

Movies are a selection of retro classics and critically-acclaimed hits for all ages including Grease, Back To The Future, Joker, A Star Is Born, Toy Story and Lion King.

A number of interactive games will have audiences dancing and honking their horns as Suzuki hosts Lucky Licence Plates, a car-themed take on bingo with prizes to be won; Suzuki Dance Cam which encourages passengers to bust a move on screen; and Suzuki Says, which sees drivers reaching in unison for the hazards, full beam, wipers and culminating in a wave of headlights.
