Wizard of Oz: Open-Air Cinema

Wizard of Oz: Open-Air Cinema
South Kerrier Alliance
Thursday 27th August | 2pm

FREE EVENT

Follow the yellow brick road — all the way to Coronation Park! Our fourth and final free open-air screening of the summer brings the timeless magic of The Wizard of Oz to the big screen outdoors.

Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion — there’s no place like Coronation Park for a classic movie afternoon. Whether you know every word or you’re introducing a new generation to Oz, this is a film that never gets old.

Grab the kids, pack a picnic or visit Lakeside Cafe, spread out your blankets and click your heels together. This is the last of four free open-air cinema screenings this summer, brought to you by the South Kerrier Alliance — completely free for the whole community.

Stay for the evening and catch Wicked: For Good at 7pm — the perfect double bill!

This film is rated U.

Support free events at Coronation Park

This year, over 60% of our events at Coronation Park are completely free. We do this because we believe that everyone in Helston and on The Lizard deserves access to brilliant events — regardless of what’s in their pocket. The South Kerrier Alliance CIC is a not-for-profit organisation and we don’t receive any regular public funding. Every free event we put on is only possible because of the support of people like you. If days like this matter to you and your community, please consider making a donation here.
