Imagine listening to Let it Be, Yesterday and Hey Jude for the first time.
Imagine how it feels to hear classic Beatles songs played on acoustic guitar in the local pub without any knowledge of the backstory.
Auckland Council is screening hit movie Yesterday on a giant screen as Movies in Parks enters its final month. Come to Glover Park in St Heliers on Friday 13 March, settle in on your picnic blanket and watch the story of a world with Beatles amnesia unfold in one of Auckland’s most beautiful natural amphitheatres.
Immerse yourself in Beatlemania: sip a Beatles-inspired mocktail and test your Beatles knowledge with some quick-fire trivia questions before the movie starts at 8pm. Pre-movie entertainment starts at 5.40pm.
If Saturday night suits you better, Aladdin will screen at Lloyd Elsmore Park in Pakuranga on Saturday 14 March with the same start times.
In a summer-long series, Movies in Parks has been brought to the region by local boards and Auckland Council, supported by The Hits and nzherald.co.nz.
