Absolutely! Sunset Cinema is the perfect place to enjoy a family night out or entertainment the kids for a few hours. 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. We discourage open umbrellas as they block other’s views, but certain circumstances allow for it.

– Friends, Family or Dates; Sunset Cinema is best enjoyed with others!
