Forget Drive-In Theatres, Sydney Has A Beach Cinema With Beds On The Beach, Noise Cancelling Headphones & More

Watching movies on big screens in theatres is definitely fun; however, open cinemas are a different experience altogether. With parks and plazas converted into outdoor movie theatres, Sydney is a well-liked summer vacation spot for moviegoers. In 2024, the open-air cinema at the beach is returning to Sydney. It will be a well-liked open theatre that doubles as a beach cinema rife with 280 tonnes of sand and queen/king-sized beds.

Here’s More About Sydney’s Beach Cinema

Beach cinema is a unique and enjoyable experience. It’s a cinematic experience where you can watch your favourite film on a large screen with your loved ones while the sand is beneath your feet. This experience is made available in Sydney via Mov’in Bed.

Sydney’s Mov’in Bed is an open-air movie theatre that uses actual beds in place of bean bags. This first open-air movie theatre opened its doors in Sydney in 2016. It came to a temporary stop during the COVID-19 lockdown. It made a comeback this summer with a fresh lineup of prescreening DJs, an urban beach setting, and improved beds along the ocean. Last year’s tickets sold out quickly, and for 2024, it’s back for an extended summer season. The outdoor cinema is a popular attraction in Sydney.
