Overview
Spring is (almost) in the air, and we all know what that means: it's time to kick back with some friends and a nice bottle of vino and enjoy a movie under the stars. We've been spoiled for choice when it comes to outdoor cinemas in recent years, and now The Greens in North Sydney is getting in on the action. Flicks on the Green is your latest destination for classic, cult and new release cinema with a little bit of lawn bowling thrown in.
The film program runs Wednesday to Sundays for four weeks across late September and early October, beginning with OTT action comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service. Other recent titles include Ant Man, Trainwreck and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, while those of you looking for a dose of nostalgia can enjoy the likes of Mean Girls, Dirty Dancing and Howl's Moving Castle.
The movies start at sundown, but there'll be plenty to keep you occupied until then. The recently refurbished Greens Kitchen will be open for pre-film feasts, with a lot more than just stale popcorn on offer. Nothing like slow cooked lamb or a thick rib-eye steak to put you in the mood for a screening of Jurassic World – although we can't imagine Indominus Rex would bother with the herb and garlic butter. They'll also be operating bars of both the candy and alcohol varieties, so there's no danger of you running out of things to eat or drink.
Screenings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays will be preceded by live music acts – and if you want to get really fancy, you can grab yourself a VIP ticket which gets you a bean bed in the reserved area along with a complimentary bottle of wine and box of popcorn.
