Lying back watching a movie under a starry sky on the Swan River foreshore against the Perth skyline is one of the magical joys of our lifestyle. Knowing that you are helping out four local children's charities is a bonus. All of this comes together at Movies by Burswood.
From December 5th until April 4th 2009 Movies by Burswood in the Burswood Parklands returns for its eightth season. Organised and run by a team of 300 volunteers the event benefits local charities seeking to improve the quality of life of children in a health or physical ability crisis.
The 18 week programme runs every night* at 8:30pm until 21 February and then from 8pm thereafter until end of season.
With admission prices for movies at $12 for adults, $9 for concessions and $6 for children it makes for a great value night out. There's a $29 family ticket available for 2 adults and 2 kids or 1 adult and 3 kids. Children are 5-15 years of age.
If comfort is your preference then our premium seating Waterwise La Grassiere at $35# a ticket ($70 a couple) may be your choice. With luxurious bean bag lounges, a cheese pack from the Blue Cow Cheese Co and your choice of wine or beer all in a special reserved prime seating area this is movie viewing in style.
Discount Tuesdays are even cheaper with adults just $9 and concessions $6.
The season's programme is available online. Please check for late changes.
With a large 15 metre wide screen and surround sound the venue is the best outdoor cinema experience in Perth. Patrons are free to bring fold-up chairs, bean bags or the like. If lugging chairs isn't your thing then bean bag lounge, rug and chair hire onsite is available. A refundable deposit applies.
Movies by Burswood volunteers will be offering raffle tickets for sale for our Mauritius Get-Away. This includes a 6 night stay at the Tamassa Resort right on the magical island of Mauritius including return airfares sponsored by Vodafone. Tickets are just $2 with all proceeds donated to our charities.
The venue is catered and fully licensed with a variety of food, coffee, tea and confectionery available. Prices are extremely affordable. Domino's pizzas and associated products can be ordered at the venue too for just $9.95. We run a sausage sizzle each night at just $3.50 each. Otherwise just use the numerous barbecue facilities in the parklands. Social club and groups can also organise all-inclusive packages.
What makes Movies by Burswood stand out is its location - on the doorstep of Burswood Entertainment Complex. There's plenty of pre and post-movie entertainment either at Paddy Hannan's, The Ruby Room or the Casino itself. And don't forget the food hall and great restaurants.
Located at the junction of the Causeway, Canning-Albany-Great Eastern Highways and the Graham Farmer Freeway transport is no problem with plenty of free parking too. Burswood is well serviced by public transport via Transperth buses, trains, and taxis.
So get the crew organised and have a great time out whilst helping out the kids.
