A guest experience

The Open-Air Cinema

A private screen under the open sky, timed to your arrival.

A backyard canopy strung with warm lights at dusk, a cushioned nest with a fur throw, a projector, lanterns and snacks before a large outdoor screen.

In one line

This is the Open-Air Cinema: a private cinema set in the backyard, finished just before the guests arrive and handed to them in person.

The evening

The guests step out of the back door at dusk, and the yard is already glowing: a soft grey canopy strung with warm lights, a bed laid on the ground, cold drinks and popcorn cones, and across the grass, a screen the size of a garage door.

Someone who cared about this evening walks them out, hands them a remote, and leaves. They press play.

Questions hosts ask

How do I charge guests for it?

Name it in your listing, with its price, so a guest sees it before booking. Each channel has its own way to charge for an extra; follow the rules of the one the guest booked on, and when a guest books with you directly, add it to the stay.

What if it rains?

Every booking comes with a weather plan: another night, the cinema indoors or another experience, and always a full refund.

Another evening:

Two white ceramic fondue cups on a wooden tray, a tea light glowing under each, a bag of chocolate, marshmallows and a kraft envelope between them, a sofa and a lamp behind.

Fondue for Two

The easiest yes in the collection: a warm, slow evening in, set on one tray in about ten minutes.
