A lovely thing to do is sit under the stars and watch a movie and tonight in Lismore you can do just that with the Newcastle Permanent’s Cinema Under the Stars event and a huge evening of family-friendly fun in Nesbitt Park.
After a wet weekend led to the January event being postponed, this great family-friendly evening will make its long-awaited return to the Lismore region for the first time in three years.
The free event includes live music, children’s activities and roving acts, with the feature film, Sing 2 (PG, 2021), to begin at sundown.
Bring a blanket (or two) and pack a picnic or buy something delicious from local vendors at the event – and there will be plenty of free popcorn to munch on!
David Parker, Branch Manager (Lending) – Lismore Branch, said that after three years of COVID-enforced hibernation and awful floods organisers were very happy to be bringing Cinema Under the Stars back.
‘It’s on!’ said Mr Parker.
‘We are so excited to host Cinema Under the Stars and holding it over the Easter school holidays means even more people – families, friends and visitors from out of town – will be able to attend this amazing night out.
‘More than just a free night at the movies, this is a wonderful showcase of the exceptional talent we have in the Lismore region, with amazing food, brilliant performers and stunning musicians all ready to put on a show!
‘Pack a picnic, bring the whole family, and get there early to enjoy all the fabulous, fun, free events and activities that help make Cinema Under the Stars such an awesome night!”
