We love a good outdoor movie (and the perfect excuse to get the kids out of the house!) so we are thrilled to hear that the city of Parramatta is bringing back free flicks to their local parks these Easter School holidays. 

Parramatta's Free Family Movie Nights

From 4 pm - 6 pm on school holiday weekends, join your neighbours for an action-packed schedule of kids' activities, doggo-obstacle courses, jumping castles, live entertainment and food stalls at Parramatta's Free Family Movie Nights. After sunset, find a spot on the grass to catch a range of family-friendly blockbusters under the stars. 

The Free Movie Line-Up

FRIDAY 11 APRIL – Binnalong Park, Old Toongabbie - Wicked
SATURDAY 12 APRIL – Doyle Ground, North Parramatta - IF
SUNDAY 13 APRIL – North Rocks Park, North Rocks - Despicable Me 4
SATURDAY 26 APRIL – West Epping Park, Epping - The Wild Robot
SUNDAY 27 APRIL – F.S Garside Park, Granville - Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Bring your picnic blanket, your favourite snacks and even your furry friends (on a leash) for a night of fun in the great outdoors. If you’re in need of a break from making snacks, each site will also have pizza, popcorn, ice cream, coffee, plus other tasty treats from local food stalls.

There’ll be bean bags to sink into, but make sure you get there early to snag one  - it’s a first come, first served arrangement - no bookings can be made. 

All movies are rated PG.
