About Sandell Drive-In

The Sandell Drive-In is the community drive-in for Clarendon and the surrounding Texas Panhandle region, operating on a seasonal Friday and Saturday schedule from March through September. The single-screen theater is a fixture on the Texas Drive-Ins Film Trail — the state's official cultural tourism program recognizing historically significant drive-ins. Gates and the grill open at 6:30 PM, with movies starting at dusk. Audio is broadcast on 88.7 FM. Adult admission is $8, with children 2 and under free. The Sandell is a classic, small-town Texas drive-in that has kept the tradition alive for rural Panhandle communities who would otherwise have no nearby theater.
