“A great film has to be accompanied by great food. As a film buff, this is always one of my favourite projects of the year, combining my love of food with cinema in the great outdoors. We’ve worked hard to put together a tasty menu exclusively for Moonlight Cinema that pairs perfectly with the film-watching experience,” Petta said.
There’s something for absolutely every kind of movie maniac and film fanatic at this season’s Moonlight Cinema. Gates are open an hour and a half before the film starts so grab all your mates, snap up your grassy patch and lay back for a summer of fun, food and films under the stars!
