Bookings are now open for the first-ever Skillogalee Twilight Cinema series, inviting families and friends to indulge in an open-air cinema experience in the heart of the Clare Valley. Set within the gorgeous Skillogalee Estate, this event promises magical summer evenings filled with classic films and modern favourites, all showcased against the stunning backdrop of lush vineyards and the Skilly Hills.

Each movie night is designed to be a family-friendly affair. Guests can enjoy a range of pre-movie lawn games, live music, and activities tailored for all ages.

Each film has been carefully selected to cater to varied tastes, ensuring there is something for everyone.
Adding to the appeal of these evenings are the ample culinary offerings available for purchase. House-made wood-fired pizzas, choc tops, popcorn, and a delightful sweets bar will satisfy all palates. A lawn bar will offer a selection of wines, beers, gin, and soft drinks, perfectly complementing the laid-back atmosphere of a movie under the stars.
You’re also welcome to bring your own chairs and rugs to get comfortable!
