Manly Open Air Cinema returns to the iconic St Patrick’s Castle on the ICMS campus for two unforgettable nights of cinema under the stars, happening 28–29 June 2025. Set against the sweeping ocean views of Manly, this pop-up event transforms one of Sydney’s most picturesque settings into a vibrant outdoor cinema experience. With high-quality surround sound (no headphones required), cosy bean bags, and a stellar film lineup, it’s your chance to enjoy winter movie magic in a truly unique location.

Arrive early to soak in the festive atmosphere, with live music, happy hour drink specials, and a curated selection of local food and drinks. From freshly brewed craft beer by 4Pines to warming cups of mulled wine, every detail is designed to elevate your night out. Grab dinner from the beloved Dope Fusion Food Truck, serving globally inspired street food like loaded fries and tacos, or treat yourself to Butter Boy cookies, popcorn, and chilled Ben & Jerry’s for dessert.

The venue is fully licensed, so BYO alcohol is not permitted, but a wide range of wine, beer, and cocktails will be available on-site. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis with comfy bean bags included, and limited VIP balcony seats with backrests also on offer. Gates open one hour before each screening, giving you time to relax, grab a drink, and settle in. Please note, children aged 12+ must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

With limited tickets available and only two nights to catch this special event, Manly Open Air Cinema is the perfect way to enjoy film, food, and coastal views in one of Sydney’s most iconic settings. Book now and experience a movie night like no other — with the sea breeze, great music, and the stars above.
