Pictures in the Park: The Goonies

A free outdoor screening of family adventure The Goonies at Puckpool Park, starting at 8.30pm with advance registration required.

Presented by Pictures in the Park

The Goonies comes to Puckpool Park for the second night of Pictures in the Park. The 1985 adventure comedy follows a group of friends into caves, traps and treasure-hunt trouble, making it a natural fit for a family film night under the open sky. The picture starts at 8.30pm on Friday, with free admission for registered ticket holders.

Pack chairs, cushions or a blanket and dress for an evening close to the coast. Audience food and drink cannot be taken into the screening area. Instead, the event has an on-site selection expected to include pizza, burgers, popcorn, snacks, sweets, ice creams, soft drinks and alcohol. Tickets are issued in bookings of up to six, so larger groups may need more than one registration.

Outdoor cinema always depends on workable weather, and the organisers may cancel at short notice if conditions make the event impractical or unsafe. Check the event page before leaving home, especially if rain or strong wind is forecast. Only the 8.30pm start is advertised, so the 10.30pm end in this listing is an estimate for travel planning.
