IT’S back!
The Summer Open Air Cinema season continues next Friday and this time it’s heading to Lixnaw with a classic normally associated with Christmas.

These free events are in partnership with Kerry County Council and the Community Support Fund.
Everyone knows the story of Charlie who receives a golden ticket to a factory. Starring the late Gene Wilder it’s a classic movie for all ages. You must register if you want to go so click here to do so.
THINGS TO REMEMBER BEFORE COMING ALONG:
• If you’re planning to attend one of our events this summer, make sure to read our top tips below before coming along. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
• All films start once dark usually 10pm approx (slightly earlier if it is dark or sometimes a little later if it’s not dark enough), bring a picnic and make a night of it!
• Gates will be open before the screening but the screening can’t operate before it gets dark. (That is how it is designed!)
• Don’t forget to bring lots of blankets and warm clothes. As you know, it gets chilly at night so make sure to wrap up!
• Entry and Exit will be advised in due course.
• No pets allowed
• No footballs allowed (or, since it’s in Lixnaw, hurleys!)
• If you have a deck chair or camp chair, feel free to bring it with you.
• ‘Summer Open Air Cinema’ screenings are suitable for kids (8+ yrs old) too but must be accompanied by an adult. The onus is on parents to decide if a screening is suitable for their child.
• Sorry, no alcohol allowed.
• There is no parking on the grounds
• Finally, don’t forget the insect repellent! We’ll be among trees and near water so bring something to deter the midges.
• The festival reserves the right to refuse admission. Please pay attention to the stewards instructions. They are there for your safety.
• Admission to this screening will be limited. Please only book tickets if you plan to attend. Thank you.
• OPEN AIR CINEMA is dependent on fine weather, if inclement weather is forecast, screenings may/will be cancelled. Please keep an eye on social media, Facebook and Twitter.*
