An exciting festival program of food and films has been revealed today including the Opening Night screening of musical fantasy Rocketman (19/07).

The early return of the popular outdoor cinema this Winter will again play host to an array of festival-vibe entertainment, with American Express Card Members receiving a range of exclusive benefits.
