Pop-Up Drive-In Cinema

This blast from the past cinema experience gives you the feel of a 50’s drive-in with new films

Picture this: an open field filled with cars, a huge screen before them playing your favourite film with the night sky as the perfect, serene backdrop, sneaking glances at your significant other while they’re gazing up at the screen...That’s what you can expect at the Pop-Up Cinema, a mobile drive-in film experience that lets you see new and old movies while enjoying the warm spring nights.

In the words of the founders, “Pop-Up Cinema takes film out of the theatre and into the city.” This timeless form of entertainment brings people together by sharing the love of movies in a fun, engaging space. Pop-Up Cinema hosts drive-in screenings, sunset picnics, silent cinema and indoor experiential cinema. There are films for people of all ages across numerous genres – check out the schedule below and find the perfect film to enjoy with your loved ones.

There are plenty of activities happening before the film starts and during the screening to keep you entertained from the moment you arrive. Grab a box of popcorn made with Pop-Up’s homemade pop spice, try out the yummy food and drinks on sale from local vendors such as Maggino Bros Artisan Pizza and Marley Coffee, treat to yourself to a massage or check out the Pop-Up gallery.

Pop-Up Cinema has teamed up with Retrospective Fashion Recreated, 8 Crate Garage and Miss Happ to host a monthly Retroscope movie night – go back in time and experience the drive-in as it was during the 1950’s (think back to that unforgettable scene in Grease with Danny Zuko singing in front of a giant screen). The venue will feature classic vintage cars, doo-wop and rock ‘n roll jams blearing through the speakers and pin-up girls everywhere you look. Guests are encouraged to dress up in their finest retro threads and stand a chance to win some rad prizes for their costumes.

The drive-in cinema takes place in an open area and can hold about 200 vehicles at a time. Bring as many people as you can fit in your car and enjoy the show!
