Saturday | Single’s Outdoor Cinema VIP Section – The Great Gatsby (all ages) | Manly Open Air Cinema

Just a movie, everyone single. Because the world in 2025 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!

We’re taking The Great Gatsby outdoors — with sunset tunes, drinks, and a chill singles-only area to kick back and connect. We’ve got a singles-only VIP area on the Balcony so you’ll be free to hangout and mingle with others when the movie gets a bit boring…

Arrive from 6:45PM to check in, get some drinks in, pick your bean bag, and hang out before the movie kicks off at 7:45PM. With food, drinks, and good company on deck — it’s a solid Saturday night plan.

A feel-good night out, with a little spark.

Parking located across the road at St Pauls college, signs will direct you should you be parking. Entry into ICMS will be via the first gates you see with an arch way – do not enter via the main driveway. There will be signs ands staff to direct you.

Step into the dazzling world of The Great Gatsby, where opulence meets obsession in Baz Luhrmann’s visually stunning adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, and Tobey Maguire, this film brings the Roaring Twenties to life—complete with lavish parties, forbidden love, and tragic ambition.

Fun fact: Parts of the film were shot at the iconic ICMS campus in Manly, adding a local touch to this international blockbuster.
