It’s that time of year again when the days are longer and your calendar is chockers with fun things to do around the city. Well, we’ve got one more thing for you to squeeze in because QV Melbourne is hosting a summer series in its outdoor square – and you’ll want to be there.
From January 18 to February 1, it’s all about tennis. Head down from 11am until late and you can snag a comfy bean bag in the sun (or grab a shaded spot under an umbrella) and settle in for games and live coverage on the big screen. Grab a bite, drink or sweet treat from nearby diners in QV Melbourne or if you prefer to plan ahead, pack a picnic and blanket and you’ll be set for hours.
As the short but sweet tennis season winds down, the fun continues with a pop-up outdoor cinema in the square, offering free screenings every night from February 2-15. The line-up is full of Millennial throwbacks and some new classics, kicking off with 27 Dresses, followed by What a Girl Wants, Muriel’s Wedding, E.T., Crazy Rich Asians, Barbie, Ocean’s Eleven, Miss Congeniality, Mamma Mia, The Parent Trap and She’s the Man.
For Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s), the program leans into romance with a screening of The Notebook on February 13 and Notting Hill on February 14. For the grand finale, Jim Carrey’s beloved and slightly manic alter ego in The Mask rounds out the series on February 15. Most of the films are family-friendly but be sure to check the ratings ahead of time if you plan to bring the little ones.
That’s not all. Carry on the fun at one of QV Melbourne’s entertainment and dining venues and you might be lucky enough to score one of the surprise giveaways.
