Watch Wonka in Werribee

Come and see Wonka in Werribee and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination on Saturday, March 15.

You won’t need a golden ticket to book a date with family and friends to chill out under the palm trees at Kelly Park between 5-8pm.

A modern take on a timeless classic that can spread joy between generations is plenty of reason to spring out of bed.

While it may not be a pony or a squirrel, parents are encouraged to bring along their kids and treat them to a movie night.

Screening during the autumn twilight, moviegoers might be blessed with a violet sky that resembles Violet Beauregarde – and one can be assured it would be a much more pleasant presence.

Sometimes the good thing about a remake is that while the taste of each take may change, the essence of the story will never lose its flavour- and the formula of this story has been tested plenty of times.

There will be pre-movie themed entertainment to enjoy kicking off from 5pm, so pack your picnic blanket, grab dinner from a nearby business and settle in for an evening of outdoor cinema fun.

While it is always good to refrain from watching too much TV – or eating too much chocolate – a movie and a few treats every once in a while doesn’t hurt.

Much like the conditions of visiting Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
