Barefoot Cinema is making its way west, and will make its debut at Werribee Park this week.
The outdoor cinema program will screen films at the Victorian State Rose Garden from today (February 19) to March 4.
Movies to be shown at the garden include Frozen 2, Jojo Rabbit, Dirty Dancing, Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Ride Like a Girl, Little Women, Bohemian Rhapsody and 1917.
Attendees will be able to watch the films amongst the splendor of 5000 roses.
Visitors are also being are encouraged to arrive early and explore the wider Werribee Mansion estate, enjoy food and drink and live music.
Barefoot Cinema founder Julian Grant said he decided to bring the outdoor movie business to Werribee South for a number of reasons.
“Werribee is an ideal fusion for us – encompassing a continuation of the coastal theme with a setting that allows visitors to really connect with the location, and those around them,” he said.
“We invite visitors to make the most of the Barefoot Cinema experience – come early, grab a drink and something to eat from the 400 Gradi food truck, stroll through the spectacular surrounds, play some lawn games and chill out with live music.”
Tickets for the Werribee screenings are on sale now.
Pre-bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment. Prices: adults $22, children (five to 15 years old) $15, children under five free, family ticket $65 (two adults and two kids or one adult and three kids), VIP ticket $45.
