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 7pm. 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.
