Sydney Hills Outdoor Cinema 2016
Sydney's northern outdoor cinema is back for the summer.
Overview
Another week, another outdoor cinema announcement — but we're not complaining. Sydney’s filmgoers sure are making the most of the city’s parks and clear skies this summer, and another Sydney outdoor cinema is back for a 2016 season.
This time, it’s the second season of Sydney Hills Outdoor Cinema that we’re bringing to you. It’s happening between Friday, January 15 and Sunday, February 14 in Castle Hill’s Heritage Park. Not only will 31 films be a-screening, there’ll also be street food, drinks, beats and live music.
The program covers new releases, action, adventure, thrillers, comedy and kids’ cartoons. The 24th James Bond film, SPECTRE, will get things warmed up on opening night, followed by Mockingjay Part 2 on the following evening and The Martian on Sunday, January 17. More big action and adventure flicks coming up include Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 1991 classic Point Break and Goosebumps. Comedy also gets plenty of attention, with showings of The Night Before, Man Up, Sleeping with Other People, The Intern, Now Add Honey, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Love The Coopers, Sisters and others.
The crew from local eatery The Tuckshop will be onsite dishing up tasty street food, including their signature cheeseburgers, gourmet hot dogs and healthy ‘fork-biting’ salads. Alternatively, you can make a picnic of it by preordering a cheese platter and bottle of wine for two. Then, for dessert, Gelato Messina will have you covered with its double chocolate and tiramisu choc-tops. Meanwhile, the licensed bar will be serving summery cocktails, Aussie wines and a bunch of beers and ciders from Vale Brewing.
Every screening will begin with pre-film entertainment, programmed by MTV. You can expect live acoustic acts, DJs and, throughout the season, guest appearances from MTV VJs Kate Peck and Krit.
General admission tickets are $19. But if you want to get fancy, make yourself a VIP. For $32, you’ll score premium seating, a complimentary blanket, a deckchair and a gold-dipper Gelato Messina choc top. If you’re travelling with friends, consider booking a VIP Bell Tent, which gives you your very own viewing courtyard and a private butler. Really.
Sydney Hills Outdoor Cinema runs January 15 to February 14 at Castle Hill's Heritage Park. For more info or to book tickets, head to the website.
