A series of cool, retro, nostalgic, blockbusters under the stars on the Hataitai Village Green with all proceeds going towards the build of the new Hataitai Centre.

Join us under the stars for the outdoor screening of three nostalgic family movies over three evenings;

For each event gates open at 6pm with a licenced bar (featuring local Waitoa Social Club beer) and food available. Come along for dinner or bring a picnic. We will also have music, friendly people and some backyard cricket. Movies start at sunset.

Bring something to sit on and plenty of warm clothes or blankets. We recommend a picnic blanket, bean bag and sleeping bag for snuggling under the stars during the movie.

We are planning a low waste event and will have reusable cups available at the bar. Free water will be available but we ask that you bring your own cup/bottle to fill (no bottled water will be available to purchase). You may also want to consider bringing your own dinner plate if are purchasing food. Recycling and general rubbish bins will be available, you can also help out by taking your rubbish home with you.

Tickets are just $5 per person (under 2’s are free) with an early bird special of all 3 movies for $10

Questions???

If we haven't answered your question below just contact us at eventsonthegreen@gmail.com or via Facebook @movieonthegreen

I am excited, when can I arrive?

Gates open at 6pm and so does our licence bar. Come early and relax in the sun with good people. A few tables will be available or set up your picnic blanket early.

Can I bring my own picnic?

You sure can! However we will have paella, bbq sausages and burgers, lollies, popcorn and more available. You can bring water and soft drinks but no alcohol. Alcoholic drinks will be available from our bar, including a low alcohol and no alcohol option. Help us reduce waste by bringing your own plastic cup, plate and utensils.

Hataitai is a great spot, how do I get there?

If you are local just stroll along. To main entrance will be at 157 Hataitai Road. If you want to taxi there or just home and don't have a taxi app we recommend Wellington Combined 04 384 4444. Or you can get a bus. The number 2 runs from Karori through the city to Hataitai and onto Kilbirnie, Mirarmar & Seatoun (and reverse) every 20-30mins. Jump off the bus at Hataitai village (outside the Waitoa Social Club) and the Village Green is just 2 mins up Hataitai Road.

When does the movie start and will we be warm enough?

Each movie starts at sunset and estimated start times are provided above. We will let you know before the movie starts that the bar and food vendors and closing and its time to set yourself up. We recommend warm clothes and blankets so you snuggle under the stars and enjoy the movie. You are also welcome to bring chairs but you will have to sit behind those on blankets and low chairs.
