To fully enjoy your Sunset Cinema experience, we suggest the following things: Layering up or bringing a blanket for those chillier summer nights. – Insect repellent to keep those mozzies away! – If you haven’t hired any seating then you are more than welcome to bring your own rugs, pillows, lawn chairs ect. Just be aware that taller chairs will be restricted to the back of the grounds so that everyone can see the screen. – If it looks like it’s going to rain then a poncho is recommended as we will only cancel the session if the weather becomes heavy and dangerous. We will also have a limited amount of Ponchos and blankets available on-site. No open umbrellas are allowed during the screening. – Friends, Family or Dates; Sunset Cinema is best enjoyed with others!

No. Sunset Cinema is a fully licensed event with alcohol only available if purchased at our Snack Bar on-site.

Of course! Nothing beats a good picnic spread under the stars. You can also bring non-alcoholic drinks. We also have a range of food vendors onsite if you’d rather pack light.

Sunset Cinemas is hosted in the National Botanic Gardens and is an entirely smoke and vape free event / venue.

Sadly no. As much as we love our furry friends, we have restrictions set by our venues. We hope that in the future we can revisit this restriction.
