Drive-in entertainment to come to Bristol Airport over Easter
A huge drive-in event will be coming to Bristol Airport over the Easter holidays.
On April 4 & 5, Harry Potter, comedy and drag will be among the entertainment on offer at the Parking Lot Social Easter Festival.
The Parking Lot Social hosts live music, movies, DJs, interactive games, quizzes and comedy that people can watch from their car. The concept has become popular since the advent of the coronavirus pandemic as it allows people to enjoy events while remaining socially distant.

“Our debut summer and winter tours were a huge success last year, and we’re keen to keep up momentum and continue to deliver first class events which are not only enjoyable, but completely Covid-19 friendly,” says John Kinnersley, chief operating officer at XL Event Lab, which runs the Parking Lot Social.
“As we know, the arts, including drag performances and theatre productions, have been heavily impacted due to the coronavirus pandemic, and we’re proud to give these talented entertainers the opportunity to perform to a live audience again.”

The festival will include an Easter pantomime of the Wizard of Oz and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban-themed costume competition and quiz.
Baga Chipz, Divina De Campo, Vinegar Strokes and Gothy Kendoll from series one of Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK will also perform. Season two queens Ginny Lemon, Ellie Diamond and Tayce have also been confirmed to appear.
The two-day festival will also show movies, host comedians and put on a children’s event, which will include an afternoon of quizzes, karaoke, games and a silent disco.
The entertainment is broadcast via two 40ft screens and a dedicated FM channel, with John saying: “Every detail of our drive-in tour – from entering the site to parking up and ordering food – has been designed with customer and staff safety front of mind, with ticket holders able to enjoy the experience with complete piece of mind.”
