After a two-year hiatus, Barefoot Cinema is back to offer Victorians the chance to enjoy an array of films screened in gorgeous locations. This year, the cinema will take over three spectacular locations: Mount Martha, St Kilda and Werribee Park.
Around 35 films will be shown over the three-month season including highlights like House of Gucci, Spider-Man: No Way Home, The French Dispatch and Licorice Pizza.
From January 5-22, head to Mount Martha and catch a flick at the Briars, one of the oldest properties on the Mornington Peninsula. The location boasts vineyard views and visitors are welcome to roam the historic homestead.
After the Mount Martha screenings, Barefoot will head closer to the city at the St Kilda Botanical Gardens from February 1-26. The gardens are home to a plethora of local indigenous plants, a giant chessboard, an ornamental pond, children's play spaces, a heritage gazebo and glasshouses. Arrive early so that you have some time to explore the grounds before settling in for a night under the stars.
Lastly, Barefoot will head out west to the Victorian State Rose Garden at Werribee Park. From March 1-19, get ready to take in a flick while surrounded by the splendour of thousands of roses. Explore the grounds and the mansion, and if you're keen to spend the day in Werribee, head to the Werribee Zoo beforehand.
Enjoy live music and lawn games before the film, and be sure to grab a drink from the Barefoot Bar or enjoy sample products from brands like Matso's Brewery and Manly Spirits company. Tuck into delicious feeds from food trucks and stock up on tasty treats from the Candy Bar, or if you're not keen on the food options, you can also BYO dinner or order delivery to the venue from local restaurants.
Tickets are $21 for a standard adult ticket, and for an additional $22 you can upgrade to a VIP ticket that includes a bean lounge or chair in a premium area and bottomless popcorn. Gates open at 6.30pm each night, and the film will start once the sun has set.
Tickets for the showings at Mount Martha and St Kilda are on sale now, and tickets for the Werribee showings will be released towards the middle of January. Head to the Barefoot Cinema website to check out the screening schedule and book your tickets.
