What is on the night
Everything you need for a cosy, social, properly organised film night.
Outdoor cinema
Projector, big screen and proper sound, set up and tested before you arrive.

Popcorn, nyama choma bites, samosas, chai and hot chocolate, with mocktails on request.
Karaoke and games
Karaoke, card games, charades and trivia for the hours between films.
Film picks
Vote on the films. Kenyan and African cinema, rom-coms, action and classics on request.

A bed in a managed home or partner cottage, then breakfast in the morning.
Safe ride or stay

Pick a theme
Every night can have a theme: costumes optional, popcorn compulsory.
Safe by design
A late night is only fun when it is safe. These rules come with every movie night.
- A safety marshal and clear rules at every fire pit
- Quiet hours and sound limits that respect neighbours
- Transport home or a bed on site, so nobody drives tired
- A rain plan with a covered lounge or indoor screening
- Owner consent for every managed property
