What you’ll need
A projector
A sheet or projector panel
A wall
An extension cord to reach the nearest power supply
Cushions, blankets, comfy chairs
A computer with your favourite films
Speakers
Technical set
Place your sheet or screen in a secure, wind-free spot. The easiest way to stream your movie is to use a laptop. Connect your speakers and projector to this film source and test everything is working properly – that the sound is clear and the image is centred on the screen.
Decorate
Genevieve Farry, owner of GF Creations, offers this advice:
Plush blankets, comfy scatter cushions, bouncy bean bags, glistening candles and dreamy fairy lights all create a magical movie viewing experience.
Eat
Farry suggests you spice up your popcorn with a delicious combination of spicy and sweet flavours. You can mix it with sugar-and-spice powder or keep it classic with salt and butter. Pop some chocolate balls into the popcorn too. And cheesy pizza.
Extras
Add a special touch with homemade or digital movie tickets to have guests’ access granted to add fun to your movie night, she says.
