Cinema Pop Up is popping up in Shepp!

Cinema Pop Up will run for four consecutive nights only from Thursday 25 January up to and including Sunday 28 January and is catering for all members of the community, featuring movies including The Lego Batman Movie, Red Dog, Pitch Perfect and Dodgeball: A true underdog story.

The pop-up roadshow will feature food trucks, frozen drinks, popcorn and a bar, and encourages families to come along early, get a good spot, and set up with blankets and cushions for a picnic before the movie kicks off.

The event is supported by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Toyota and Prime Super. Tickets are limited and available for free when booking online, or are available for purchase at the gate from $10 for adults and $5 for children. Gates open at 6pm.

Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Economic Development Geraldine Christou encouraged people to reserve their seat online to secure their free ticket.

“This event is a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors whilst spending time with friends and family. I encourage everyone to come along for a different movie experience, enjoy the food and beverage options available and take time to relax,” said Ms Christou.

Toyota Regional Marketing Manager, Jeremy Watson has said, “supporting community events is part of Toyota’s DNA and the team at Shepparton Toyota are incredibly proud to be supporting this event in Shepparton.”

TAC senior road safety manager Samantha Cockfield said Cinema Pop-Up is a new way for the TAC to get its road safety message into regional Victoria.

"Victorians are four times more likely to die on country roads so we're always looking for new ways to help country Victorians get home safely, every time they get behind the wheel."

Cinema Pop Up is the largest outdoor regional cinema operator in Victoria, with pop ups running throughout regional Victoria all summer. Cinema Pop Up Director Kate Hardwick said, “we’re excited to bring an event of this caliber to regional Victoria. These are the types of experiences you’d traditionally only be able to access in metro cities, however we understand and value the importance of local communities. Having these magnificent partners on board together with support from Greater Shepparton City Council means we can offer a free experience people can share in together.
