IMPORTANT

This isn’t just a night at the movies and music folks; there’s so much more! Have you ever sat with 500 other people… in a field... in silence… all fully engrossed in the same thing? … It’s magical!!

• We use wireless headphones for all of the event's sound! You lot are in for a unique and immersive experience to be remembered for many summers to come.
• LIVE MUSIC! we're kicking off the event with a glorious set from XXX playing a mix of covers and originals.
• The Movie BEGINS! Once the sun has set, it’s time to cosy up and enjoy the film surrounded by your friends and family!
• Take the timings of these events more as guidelines folks! We rely on the cover of darkness to play the movie, which means that sometimes the movie starts a little earlier or later than stated, but once it’s dark, it’s showtime! So make sure you’re there nice and early so you can just relax and enjoy the night ahead!
• There will be a bar and delicious food on-site! but if you fancy a cheeky picnic from home and are thinking about which bag is best to use to sneak a bottle of booze in then don’t worry, you are most welcome to bring in your own you don’t have to hide it. Just please no hard liquor!

 

THE IMPORTANT STUFF

• NO MORE DEPOSITS! Due to Covid we feel the £10 cash deposit isn’t appropriate anymore. Going forwards we will have dedicated exits to drop your headphones at when you leave. One person per set of headphones please - you will not be able to leave the area without handing in your headphones!
• COVID SAFE! These bad boys will be thoroughly cleaned before and after each event (same as always) but at these times its more important than ever to feel safe and secure, so sanitiser and wipes will be available on-site. Please stick to the 2 meter rule while queing for the marquee, food and toilets!
• Headphones are provided at the marquee at check-in. Please use the Eventbrite App to save paper and have the QR code ready for scanning!
• All attendee’s must check in using our Covid QR code before receiving their headphones.

 

 

So what should you bring?

• Something to sit on! Most people tend to bring folding chairs or blankets but you're more than welcome to bring whatever keeps you comfortable. We have a blanket zone at the front so everyone can get a good view! Please also bear in mind if it has rained during the day or the night before the ground may be damp.

• Make sure you dress up warm! Bring anything which may make your evening more comfortable: A blanket, thick socks to stop your tootsies from getting cold and maybe a torch for the walk home.

Food & Drink

• We have a bar on-site! Selling soft drinks, popcorn, beer, cider, red, white and rose wine, and of course the feel-good summer staple PROSECCO!
• We have a caterer on-site! Delicious meals will be available from our on-site caterer. We’ll send you an email closer to the time with their menu!
• Feel free to bring a picnic! We only ask that you please refrain from bringing any glass or hard liqour with you onto the site. Attendees agree to take responsibility for the health, safety, and security of the items they bring.

 

Smoking and Vaping

Litter

This event has been able to go ahead due to the approval and enthusiasm of the town council, please respect the land and leave it in the beautiful way that you find it. There will be plenty of bins on site - please use them!

Noise levels
