Prepare to unplug from reality and rewire your imagination as Newcastle Permanent’s iconic Cinema Under the Stars program returns to Lake Macquarie this February.
The event will feature the Oscar-nominated animation film, The Wild Robot (PG, 2024) and is free for the whole family to attend.
There will be plenty of free activities for the kids to enjoy, featuring a circus workshop, a sustainable surfboard painting workshop, inflatable soccer target, lawn games, facepainting and of course live entertainment to bring the good vibes.
Newcastle Permanent spokesperson Paul Juergens said there will be no shortage of fun on offer before the film commences at sundown.
“As a customer-owned organisation we are incredibly proud to give back to our communities and see the return of our Cinema Under the Stars events, which have become a staple within our regional NSW communities for more than 15 years,” Mr Juergens said.
“This year’s event will be action-packed with delicious food, local music, fun and activities before we settle in to enjoy a family-favourite movie.
“The adventures of Roz the robot and her quest to survive and build friendships in The Wild Robot is set to spark your emotions and warm your heart.
“This year’s film is the perfect opportunity for the whole family to come together and recharge their batteries under the stars.”
