Flicks & Fireworks – Paddington in Peru 🐻✨

Movie on the beach. Fireworks over the ocean. Your last-Sunday-of-the-month night out in Surfers Paradise! 🌊✨

A free night out on Surfers Paradise beach! Grab your family and friends, bring a picnic blanket and settle in on the sand for a movie under the stars – with a spectacular fireworks display over the ocean at 8pm! 🎆

And the best part? The movie doesn’t end when the fireworks begin! We’ll pause for a short intermission, enjoy the fireworks over the ocean, then settle back in to finish the movie.

🐻🍊 A LITTLE BEAR. A BIG ADVENTURE. A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT BY THE BEACH!

Christmas might be over, but the holiday magic isn’t!

With the Christmas rush behind us and the summer holidays in full swing, what better way to spend a Sunday evening than with a much-loved bear, a movie under the stars and fireworks over the ocean?

This December, Paddington is packing his suitcase and heading to Surfers Paradise! 🧳🐻

Well… technically, he’s heading to Peru. But we’re bringing his latest adventure to the beach!

Come down early, wander through the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets, enjoy a bite to eat from one of the local restaurants, then settle in on the sand for Paddington in Peru – a heartwarming adventure filled with humour, mystery and a little marmalade-fuelled mischief.

And at 8pm, we’ll pause Paddington’s adventure for a spectacular fireworks display over the ocean before returning to the movie.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy that wonderful in-between-Christmas-and-New-Year feeling – no rushing, no schedules, just a beautiful summer evening by the beach. 🌴✨
