Promising good grub, balmy nights & cult classics with a cause, Barkly Square Open Air Cinema launches with Amelie on 2 December.
Returning for its second year, the summer cinema program in Brunswick’s iconic Barkly Square will donate proceeds to seven different charities.
It all kicks off in the Square’s McDougall Lane on Saturday 2 December, 2017 in partnership with The Brotherhood of St Laurence (BSL). The space will be transformed into a French-inspired oasis celebrating all things magnifiquement français, with a special screening of Amelie.
Across the summer program, ticket-holders can get comfy, unwind and catch a variety of films ranging from seasonal favourites to cheeky classics in the heart of Brunswick’s bustling Sydney Road.
Guests can indulge in treats from Barkly Square food retailers, who will operate with extended opening hours for the duration of the summer programming.
