Moonlight Cinema

The Moonlight Cinema has returned to Melbourne this summer. There's nothing quite like a film under the stars in the evening cool of the Botanic Gardens so that's exactly what we'll be doing all through January, February, March and a teensy bit of April.

Upcoming screenings include classics like Clueless, ET, Moulin Rouge, Back to the Future and Grease while there's a host of brand-new flicks to see as well. Our picks are Penguin Bloom, Promising Young Woman, Pixie and The Dry.

As always, the Moonlight Cinema food truck and bar can supply you with comestibles, but you're welcome to BYO food and drinks, too. 

Those looking to splurge can opt for the gold grass experience where you'll sloth out on bean bag beds with a premium view of the big screen. You don't even have to get up for movie snacks or drinks as waiters will happily take your order. 

Screenings kick off at sundown (which is around 8.45pm during summer but as early as 6pm in April) and tickets range from $18-$40. See the current program here.
