Curling up in bed to watch your favourite romcom or thriller is truly one of life’s greatest joys. Now, imagine yourself snuggled up in a queen-sized bed, surrounded by sand, watching the latest Hollywood release under the stars. It sounds like a summer dream, right? Well, dream on, Sydney.
The world’s biggest outdoor bed cinema is landing on a beach in Barangaroo this summer and tickets are already on sale. Mov’in Bed will transform Barangaroo’s Harbour Park into a city beach, with 280 tonnes of white sand and 150 cloud-like queen-size beds that can comfortably fit you and two of your closest mates.
Sessions will run every Wednesday to Sunday night from January 12 to April 14, 2024, featuring new release films and classic hits like Wonka, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Anyone But You. Kids can join the summer cinema fun too with screenings of Trolls, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and The Boy and the Heron.
You can watch the plot unfold on the giant 15-metre-long 4K screen, with the sun setting in the background directly across the harbour. Moviegoers will each receive a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, creating a completely immersive audiovisual cinema experience. And yes, that means you cry and laugh as loud as you want.
For a full summer showdown, get popcorn, pizza, and fish and chips delivered straight to your bed. And if you get thirsty during the film, head to the beach bar for coconuts, wine, Champagne, beer and soft drinks.
You can relax on the sand on a towel with beach tickets from $12, or get comfy on a bed for two to three people, with bed tickets from $89. If you’re celebrating an extra special occasion then upgrade to a VIP bed ticket from $150, including free bottomless popcorn, a glass of sparkling, premium placement in front of the screen and exclusive access to a premium dining menu.
For the first time ever, Mov'in Bed will be screening a series on the big screen. On March 19, you can catch an exclusive preview of the glamorous series Palm Royale ahead of its premiere on Apple TV+. Snag free tickets to watch the first two episodes of the new series starring Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Ricky Martin and Allison Janney.
T&Cs apply: NSW residents only, while tickets last.
Mov'in Bed Barangaroo Beach will be set up right by the dazzling Crown Tower's feet. Gates open at 6pm for an 8.30pm start.
