Feel free to arrive a little early to drink in the festivities and plop your picnic mats down, as the gates to Films At The Fort open at 5.30pm. There’ll be DJs and instrumentalists around to bring the vibes up to a fever pitch before the lull of the cinema sets in.

Also, don’t forget to pick up your complimentary drinks, as every ticket comes with a free Glenfiddich cocktail or 2 non-alcoholic beverages.

Speaking of drinks, there’ll be a couple of food vendors on-site, courtesy of The Providore,  should you want to get any pre-movie munchies. We’re not exactly sure what the fare will look like this year, but if last year’s offerings were anything to go by, expect finger foods like pizza, cheese platters, and ice cream to snack on.

Having said that, you are allowed to bring your own food into the event, so feel free to pack a picnic basket to impress your date with their favourite dishes. And no, booze from outside isn’t allowed, so stick to the offerings from the bar onsite.

Also, if you’re planning on packing light, you can do away with a picnic mat and rent a backrest for $6 instead. Backrest rentals are automatically bundled with your tickets, so do remember to uncheck them when you’re booking your tickets if you’re bringing your own seating.
