Gates open at 7PM. The film starts at last light, you can check out when the sun sets HERE. As we are an outdoor cinema we need it to be dark for the film to be visible on the screen.

We recommend arriving early to get the best spot possible as we often fill up. It also gives you time grab your food & drinks and settle in for the film.

Absolutely, but not on their own. Sunset Cinema is the perfect place to enjoy a family night out or entertainment the kids for a few hours. However, we are a fully licensed event and all children ages 17 & under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Also, be aware that we sometimes show films classified MA15+ (for the adults) which require children under 15 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

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 you 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!

Is it on or off?? That is the question! Always assume it’s on unless you hear from us. A decision to cancel will normally not be made before 4pm and can sometimes be made even after we’ve opened the gates – such is the nature of trying to predict what the weather will do and whether it will make for a terrible/unsafe night of outdoor cinema. We’ll obviously make a decision as soon as we’re confident one way or the other.

We’ve got free ponchos for Sunsetters if some drizzle catches us before/during a movie but always worthwhile packing a jacket just in case.Please remember – weather can be tricky as what the forecasts/radar tell us & what the sky tells us can often vary significantly. There is also the vagaries of weather which factor in to our decision making when it comes to pushing ahead or cancelling a screening. Sometimes the weather during the day of a screening can be terrible & then it can clear up to be a beautiful night and vice versa.

You can view our full Wet Weather Policy HERE.

Damn! We had to cancel the screening. You would have received a text message & email from us, in that email there will be instructions on how to exchange your tickets. If you did not receive these instructions then simply head to your ACCOUNT and follow the exchange process above. Don’t worry, you won’t get charged an exchange fee for a cancelled session.

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.
