COULD this be the perfect treat to enjoy after the lockdown gloom?
Families and residents can enjoy a unique festive treat watching classic films in their own igloo this Christmas.
Brighton Marina has teamed up with Peachy Productions to transform the top deck on the car park at the site.
It will become an open air drive-in cinema with 40 igloos, each with their own 50-inch screen and sound system.
The attraction will be called Rooftop @ Brighton Marina.
Organisers want the igloos to be super snug, and visitors can warm their hearts with movies like A Christmas Carol, Elf, Love Actually, and Home Alone.
Food and catering can also be provided.
They believe it is the perfect way to unwind and something for everyone to look forward to as the the second coronavirus lockdown ends on Wednesday.

Brighton and Hove is expected to be placed into tier two restrictions, and the igloos could give households something festive to enjoy.
Children will get a chance to meet Father Christmas from the comfort of the igloos from December 15 through to Christmas Eve.
Brighton Marina centre manager Kirsty Pollard said: “Residents of Brighton and Hove need something to look forward to so we are delighted to welcome our new winter attraction, The Rooftop @ Brighton Marina.
“This is a really exciting addition which is set to compliment our already established leisure businesses. Meanwhile the popular Sunday Boot Market will continue in its new home on Level 7 and 8 of the multi story car park.
“In these challenging times we wanted to focus on safe socially distanced entertainment, the immersive igloos offer just that.
“Each igloo accommodates up to six people which makes it a unique Covid-19 compliant experience. Over the next six weeks and beyond, The Rooftop will deliver immersive and interactive entertainment, which we hope will really create an enjoyable end to a difficult year.”
The first Christmas film kicks off on Friday, December 11 at 7pm with the first showing of The Holiday starring Cameron Diaz and Jude Law.
An igloo costs £17.50 per adult and £10 per child under 14 which includes the film. For more information or to book visit: www.the-rooftop.co.uk
