The world’s most beautiful cinema is coming back to Sydney in 2026. Set on Mrs Macquarie’s Point, before a backdrop that spans the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and city skyline, Westpac OpenAir is a stunning celebration of film, food and Sydney lifestyle. From early evening a spectacular al fresco dining and bar experience comes alive on the harbour’s edge with some of Sydney’s best chefs sharing their take on the perfect summer menu.
At dusk, the giant cinema screen rises from the water to stand three storeys high over Sydney Harbour. Dolby digital surround sound, 4k projection and comfortable cinema seating, together create an unbeatable cinema experience.
In 2026 our season will run from Friday, 9 January – Tuesday 24 February, an epic 47 nights of the world’s most beautiful cinema, with every detail considered just for you.
