The Covered Patio turns into Hillier's friendliest outdoor cinema every Friday through summer. A big screen, a projector, and the kitchen firing hot dogs, slushies, and ice cream sandwiches. Movies start at 6:30pm. We post the week's confirmed film on Instagram every Friday morning.
What's playing
Twelve weekly Fridays plus an audience-choice encore to close. We programmed it to grow with the kids in the room — Lego launches, Wonka mid-summer, School of Rock and Harry Potter to ease the back-to-school sting.
