Come follow the yellow brick road…..
Chislehurst's Open Air Cinema returns this year
with a screening of The Wizard of Oz, an all-time classic that has delighted
audiences of all ages for over 75 years.
Organisers are going all out to capture the magic
of this iconic film with a fully-themed family event on Saturday 12th
July, sponsored by JdM Estate Agents and The Chislehurst Society.
Those who haven't seen the film will be captivated
by the fantastical plot, the bizarre characters and catchy songs. The old hands
will know most of the words and will be revelling in the nostalgia of it
all. To add to the fun, the screening will be a
remastered sing-a-long version of the film. Dressing up is non-essential
but actively encouraged, even if it's just a token pair of red shoes! 
Wizard of Oz-themed crafts and activities will be
on offer for your little Munchkins whilst the adults soak up the community
spirit and enjoy live jazz music and fantasy-themed refreshments. There will be
food and drink on sale, including a BBQ by Higgs Butchers.
Chislehurst's answer to Emerald City can be
found just over the rainbow, on the area of the Common next to St Nicholas
school on School Road (BR7 5PQ). If you get lost, you can follow the
distinctively coloured road. Doors open at 7.30pm with the film
starting at 8.45pm.
Tickets are slightly cheaper if you purchase
them in advance online from Chislehurst, Petts Wood and Bickley VillageNews’ Shop here or by ringing 020 8468 7945. All major credit and debit cards accepted. They can also be purchased from JdM, 41 High Street or from Higgs Butchers, 17
Royal Parade. Prices: £10 for adults, £5 for
children (aged 4-17). Tickets will also be available on the day, £12.50
adults, £7.50 children.
Don't miss this singalong extravaganza which will
go ahead whatever the weather. Remember to wrap up warm and bring
something to sit on.
This is an event hosted by the community for the
community which means ticket refunds will not be available if you get
frightened by the witch. All profits will go to the Trustees of Chislehurst
Commons, the charity that maintains and protects our precious green (emerald)
spaces.
