Movies In The Park

Manly

Updated: Jan 18, 2026

Enjoy a great night out for free with an outdoor film under the stars in a bayside park at Manly's Movies in the Park, held on the 1st Saturday of each month.

A balmy evening, the moon rising over Manly Harbour and a free family-friendly movie combine to make a great and affordable night out for all.

Bring a blanket, something to drink, a picnic or enjoy some fish’n’chips from one of the local eateries or food available at the venue, then kick back and relax while the kids have a pre-movie play in the park.

Need to know - If you don't want to BYO, food is available at the venue from 4pm. The movies starts at approx. 6pm.
