The outdoor movie nights have been designed to unite the community by bringing families and friends together for a fantastic evening of film, fun and local flavour.

Council Director of Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith said whether you’re a resident or visiting the Central Coast the movie nights are designed to celebrate the community, support the local economy, and enhance the town’s night life for families.

“We invite you to come along to The Entrance, Toukley, Gosford, or Wyong events, grab dinner or some takeaway, set up a picnic, sit down under the night sky and enjoy an evening of entertainment.

“There will be a variety of activities at each location, with circus performers, face painting and lawn games, so get there at 4pm and join in the fun before the movie starts at 6pm,” Ms Smith said.

Attendees can also support local food vendors at each of the movie night locations, by perusing the Love Central Coast Eating Out Guides, for recommendations on local eateries for their evening meal.
