A night under the stars

The family-favourite movie Beauty and the Beast was screened at Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick on Saturday night.

The event had an awesome turn out of around 1300 people.

“Overall the event was a lot of fun! We were supported by an amazing group of volunteers and the staff at Wilson Botanic that made the event possible,” event organiser Josh Carell said.

“The pre-entertainment is always such a highlight for us. To see the children engage with the magician and the massive group of children wanting to get in a photo with ‘Belle’.

“The applause at the end of the movie was such a wonderful way to end the event.”

Entertainment before the movie included Mr Marvel’s Magic and Circus Show, a meet and greet with ‘Belle’, harp performance by Harpbeat and a special Beauty and the Beast performance by Windmill Theatre Company.

Six delicious plant-based food vendors helped feed the crowd.

Donations were also collected throughout the night and raised a total of $500 which will be donated to one very deserving person in the community, someone that was nominated prior to the event.

Littlefoot and Company will be surprising them in a few days.

“For us these cinema nights are a small part of what we do here at Littlefoot and Company but a big part of what allows us to do our other work,” Mr Carell said.

“Everyone that purchases a ticket to our cinema nights is ultimately giving us a donation which gives us the ability to run our other free events and spaces.

“We love getting the community together and we are grateful to everyone that attends these events.”
