Win Tickets to the Ben & Jerry’s Openair Cinema Launch

Chunky Monkey, Clusterfluff, New York Super Fudge Chunk. These are just some of the more popular flavours of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, a leading cause of happiness around the world since 1978. While doctors in the future will no doubt tell me otherwise, I can't think of many things better than gorging a giant tub of sweet, sweet ice-cream on a hot December day, except for maybe getting some friends together and going to the movies.

Well, it turns out Ben & Jerry's can help me there as well. Staring on December 1 and running until a few days before Christmas, Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema, erected on St Kilda's South Beach Reserve, will combine recent releases like Gravity, The Counselor and We Are The Millers with some more nostalgic picks, including Point Break, The Breakfast Club and sing-a-long screening of Grease.

Festivities start daily at 6pm with live performances from local bands and DJs. The film program starts after dark, usually around 8.30pm, giving you plenty of time to suss out the bar and stock up on snacks. The exceptions are the Sunday 'Sundae' Sessions, which kicks off an hour earlier with additional music and free Ben & Jerry's for all.

Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema opens on Sunday, December 1, featuring a live performance from Gypsy & the Cat and a screening of the new Richard Curtis rom-com, About Time. Concrete Playground has three double passes to the launch to give away.
