A QUICKIE ON
E
very night is movie night in Barbados! However, if you are on a tight budget or simply
the frugal type then Monday or Tuesday may be the best days to take in the newest
blockuster, see a fantastic tear jerker or laugh till your sides ache. Movie night isn’t just about
selecting the right type of movie, its also about the experience; and where you go is sometimes a
big part of that, particularly in Barbados where every theater on the island offers a varying movie
experience!
The Globe Drive - In
If you are up for a double feature, head over to
the Globe Drive In. Sit in the comfort of your
vehicle and turn your personal surround all the
way up. Load the car up at home with snacks
to save even more, but buy your popcorn at the
movie because movie popcorn is always a part
of the experience! Additionally, if you happen
to have an open cab truck, go all the way! Carry
cusions and a blanket and turn the back of the
cab into an intimate evening for two, or a cosy
and memorable night for the kids.
