At OB真人视讯, we're big believers that one of the best things you can do on a warm summer night is settle in for a movie under the stars. And with Perth's fave outdoor cinemas upping the ante each year with festival-like venues, gourmet food and drink, and live music, there's plenty of top options.
With outdoor cinema season around the corner, we've rounded up some of Perth’s best outdoor cinemas to fill your summer with.

is back, baby. The famed outdoor cinema experience is returning to its usual turf at the iconic Kings Park and Botanic Garden for another mega summer of summertime flicks.
Moviegoers can hit the beanbags from Thursday 5 December through to Sunday 30 March for Christmas classics and the biggest blockbusters of the year (we’re looking at you, WICKED and Gladiator II). It’s the usual Moonlight Cinema groove: you can BYO your fave snacks and rugs, hit the pop-up candybar and Aperol Spritz Bar, or go all out by booking the Platinum Experience or the Gold Grass service.

A retro garden paradise above the streets of Northbridge, is arguably the best outdoor movie experience in Perth, so we're super excited to see it back in action this year from Tuesday 8 October 2024. Kick off the spooky season with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and The Shining, or stick to the classics and new releases. Keep yourself satisfied with a little something from Benedict's Burgerbuns and a drink or two from the bar, thanks to local legends Gage Roads, Skigh Wines and Idle Hands cocktails. Or, keep it tradish with a big box of popcorn and a choctop from the candy bar.

What you won't find, though, are your big blockbuster films—the movie program here is part of Perth Festival's annual Lotterywest Film Season and features plenty of amazing new international flicks. We’ll be back to give you the lowdown on the 2024/25 program when it gets announced.
