The charity fundraising event, organised by The Catherine McEwan Foundation, will see a whole host of films shown over the three days from Friday, June 4 to Sunday, June 6.

It’s a weekend of superheroes, sing-a-longs and Star Wars with a theme to the films each day, and something on offer for everyone to enjoy.

Refreshments will be available at the screenings and there may be some surprises too.

The event follows the success of two previous drive-in events held at the stadium last summer and at Hallowe’en.

As with these previous Lockdown Drive-In Movie events at the home of Falkirk FC, all the money raised goes to the Catherine McEwan Foundation.

The charity helps Scots sufferers of Crohn’s and Colitis, including funding research, staff and support workers.
