King Edward Park is set to shine next month when the annual Cinema Under the Stars returns after a two-year hiatus.
The popular family-friendly event, hosted by Newcastle Permanent, will be screening Sing 2 at the central parkland on Saturday 22 October from 5pm.
Activities will also include live music, free children’s activities, roving acts and free popcorn, with the feature film screening from sundown.
Food vendors will be on hand to dish up some delectable treats as well.
Newcastle Permanent CEO Bernadette Inglis said after two years of COVID cancelling the popular free event, the group was excited to be once again welcoming crowds to The Hill.
“Cinema Under the Stars is always so well received by the community, with thousands of people of all ages coming along to enjoy a night of fun and laughter – and popcorn, of course,” said Ms Inglis.
“After two years feeling disconnected from each other, this is the perfect opportunity to share an experience with our friends, family and neighbours in the open air of King Edward Park, one of Newcastle’s most beautiful locations. With its natural amphitheatre, it’s made for movies.
“Bring along your rug and a picnic, and don’t be shy about joining in with some of the great songs in Sing 2.
“As a customer-owned organisation, it’s wonderful to again be hosting Cinema Under the Stars for our community. While this is a special one-off spring event, stay tuned for the summer schedule – coming soon.”
Cinema Under the Stars will feature at 11 locations throughout regional NSW, including Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Newcastle.
