You’ve done rooftop, outdoor, underground and dress up; now it’s time to don some swimmers and get in a (yes) HOT TUB for the latest epic cinematic experience sweeping the world: Splash Out Hire – Hot Tub Cinema (sponsored by Tourism Fiji).
Already popular in London and New York, this inaugural event will be held in Melbourne at Common Man, South Wharf from Thursday 21 April 2016. The experience does exactly what is says on the *cough*… tub. Running for six weeks bather-clad punters will enjoy a movie from one of 10 inflatable 40 degree spas while enjoying a full bar service straight to their tub.
“Why would anyone want to watch a masterpiece such as Talladega Nights, Jumanji or Superbad fully clothed or fetch their own food and drinks, when they could instead enjoy a classic flick from one of Splash Out Hire’s jet powered inflatable spas while being served Long Island Ice Teas and lollies?” says Mat Pistillo, Proprietor, Splash Out Hire – Hot Tub Cinema.
Why indeed!
Doors open from 8.00pm for those keen on a cocktail-based warmup with movies kicking off from around 9.00pm. Spas can be hired out as groups or lone rangers can test the waters with some sopping strangers. Non-tub tickets will also be available for the 6-week period for those wanting a drier movie experience.
Each film includes an interval where hot tubbers can ‘mingle’ (read: ‘rock out’) to a mix of new and old-school R&B jams, eat or take a comfort break before the movie recommences. Once the showing is done, the Spa Party kicks off.
8.00PM – DOORS OPEN
9.00PM – MOVIE STARTS
