Dinton Pastures Country Park Hurst, reviews by real event-goers

Review of Open Air Cinema * Rocky Horror Picture Show *

Good night overall, we were well looked after with food, drinks and popcorn being available, and dinton pastures as fantastic as ever.
That said... sound quality in places wasn’t ideal, and considering ticket price it was a bit of an annoyance to have to pay for parking whilst parking wardens chased us around the car park. Also, having been to open air cinema events recently we have previously got a drink, popcorn and a chair included in a price almost exactly the same as paid for this event.

Great way to spend a summers evening

Really lovely venue. It was definitely worth the money. There are a couple of negatives - It was quite distracting with the food vans moving during the film and staff walking around with torches. Also the bar could of set the lights on still as they were before the film started. The bar was reasonably priced if I could of got a pitcher unfortunately they didn’t have any left. Overall it was a good experience. Thank you.

We all had a great night. It all seemed to be well organised.

Loved the film ticket price was ok but then you have to pay another £6 for car park which is not on.
Toilets were disgusting and that’s when we arrived.
Screen was creased but got used to it.
Overall I had a good night with good friends.

Good venue and reasonable bar prices. Food choices minimal so I would suggest eating before you go. This was our first visit to an open air cinema and we will definitely go again.

I thought it was very expensive for what you got, no seating and the sound wasn’t very loud. You couldn’t take in your own food or drink either which constitutes for a bad review.

Great evening.However, I was told no picnics unless you had an allergy or were a vegetarian but pretty much everyone had brought a picnic.

The venue itself was really nice but the actual screening of the film was quite bad. The screen wasn’t tight enough, so you could see ripples in the film.

The food/drink options were very limited on the night. I called ahead of time and asked if I could bring my own food and was told “I don’t really know”. So brought very little food with me and didn’t like the look of the options on the night and so ordered Dominos to the car park and brought it in.

During the film the bar decided to have flashing lights on, which was kind of like Blackpool illuminations. I did ask for them to be turned off and after that it was just a blue light beaming from the right, which was distracting throughout the film.

Overall, I really enjoyed the evening and I would go again, but I would come better prepared. I feel there could have been a lot more communication on what was available on the night and also about the parking being pay and display, the company forgot the basics.

Very good experience

No sign posts or instructions before the event with where to go. Luna cinema at ascot was far better.

Also the screen was really wrinkled and at times hard to see the film!

The should open later than 18:00: 3 hours is too long to wait. Also, perhaps doggies could be allowed on leads?

Great venue good evening. An organised pick up point may be a good idea as the flow from traffic leaving left nowhere for cars waiting to pick up.
