Bring your pet to the movies to raise vital welfare funds<

Popcorn and pets — it’s set to be a Halloween movie date with a difference.

Ireland’s only drive-in cinema has encouraged film fans to bring their pets to the movies next week as part of a special animal welfare initiative.

Movie Junction, based in Carrigtwohill in East Cork, will host two days of special screenings with the proceeds going to help the Glansillagh Animal Rescue in Glanmire and the Community Cats Network in Midleton.
