Arrange a home theatre – without a roof

Gather family and friends for a film or children’s theatre – and move the whole thing outdoors. (It’s easy, any open space will do.) Suddenly an ordinary TV night is turned into something to remember.

Movie evening with the stars

Find a good spot and make it your roofless cinema. Let the audience bring their seating of choice (pouffes that double as baskets are extra suitable). Add popcorn, lighting and textiles for cosy comfort, and you’re ready to roll the opening credits.

Let the kids stage a puppet show deluxe

Films are great, but few things can compete with a live performance. With most of the set on wheels – and the refreshment stand – the children won’t even need help. Just bring along some seating, roll everything in place, hush and let the story unfold.
