At Bassendean , cinema sessions will be held at BIC Reserve, at the corner of Guildford Road and Wilson Street, with sessions starting from 8th December and running until 25th March.

You can buy food and drink at each cinemas, and each venue is fully licensed so there’s no BYO alcohol. Burswood will have a sausage sizzle for just $3.50, while Dominoes Pizzas will be available at each venue from $16 each. Other menu items include garlic bread, cheese packs $5 and platters.

This is a great opportunity to watch the latest films under a balmy Perth spring or summer evening, all while supporting some important local charities.
