A magical outdoor cinema at City Park

Sunday, 9 March 2025

Cinema in the Park returns for a magical evening on Saturday 29 March from 6-9pm at City Park – and the first 150 attendees will receive free popcorn.

Penrith City Council’s Cinema in the Park is airing ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ for everyone to enjoy.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said he was thrilled Council was hosting the free event again as it allowed families to come together, relax and experience City Park.

"We had a wonderful time hosting Cinema in the Park at City Park last year, and so we were eager to bring it back with another family-friendly film this year,” Cr Carney said.

“We’re giving popcorn to the first 150 attendees who come down. I highly encourage anyone interested to plan their night out — bring a blanket or some fold-out lawn chairs.

“We have fun crafting activities and face painting for the kids to enjoy before sitting down to enjoy the movie.

“You could even visit some of the local restaurants for a delicious dinner beforehand.”

Admission to the park cinema is free. Find out more at penrith.city/events
