The dragons are coming as Newcastle Permanent’s renowned Cinema Under the Stars (CUTS) program returns to Lismore this November.
The event will feature the latest live-action film of How to Train Your Dragon (PG, 2025) and is free for the whole family to see.
Newcastle Permanent Regional Manager Stuart Williams said there will be plenty of fun on offer well before the movie’s opening credits roll at sundown. ‘Our free Cinema Under the Stars events have been bringing communities together for more almost two decades and, as a customer-owned organisation, that’s something we’re incredibly proud of,’ said Mr Williams.
Entertainment, food and family-friendly activities
‘Each event will feature a fantastic line-up of local entertainment, delicious food and family-friendly activities before everyone settles in for a great night under the stars watching a much-loved movie.’
‘Whether you’re meeting Hiccup and Toothless for the very first time or reliving a favourite story in a whole new way, you’re in for a spectacular adventure filled with courage, friendship and a little bit of dragon magic.’
There will also be a competition to win a VIP experience for up to four guests.
