Event Cinemas Macarthur has been thoughtfully updated to offer locals a more comfortable, streamlined movie experience in the heart of Macarthur Square. The design balances a contemporary look with practical touches to handle busy crowds while creating a sense of ease from Gold Class Areas to the New Marketplace and Auditoriums Refurbishment

Warm timber finishes, plush seating zones, and soft lighting add a sense of calm to the lively cinema environment. Clear sightlines and intuitive wayfinding guide guests smoothly from ticketing through to food and beverage counters, with upgraded self-serve kiosks and snack displays keeping the experience fast and flexible.

Touches of the Event brand identity are woven throughout, with subtle graphic elements and modern signage adding personality without competing with the cinematic atmosphere. Lounges and waiting areas have been reimagined as relaxed pockets where guests can pause before or after a film.

The result is a local cinema that feels fresh, comfortable, and easy to enjoy—whether it’s a quick midweek visit or a night out with family and friends.

Guests can relax and reconnect in the inviting lobby, where playful patterns and organic greenery create a lively yet comfortable atmosphere

Unwind in the Contemporary Cinema Lobby — a vibrant gathering space before the feature begins.

Parlour Lane at Event Cinemas is more than a concession stand—it’s a bold, immersive entry point into the movie experience. Designed with a mix of nostalgic charm and contemporary flair, this space invites guests to pause, explore, and indulge before the lights go down.

From the moment customers step into the space, they’re greeted by the glowing Parlour Lane marquee, dramatically set against a striped caramel-and-black backdrop with retro bulb lighting. This instantly recognisable brand marker sets the stage for a fun and flavourful pre-show journey.

Guests flow seamlessly from ticket to treats, greeted by a contemporary café and bar that encourages a moment of pause. The open island layout and warm finishes invite casual conversation, transforming the typical cinema snack stop into a welcoming experience.

Thoughtfully planned for ease and interaction, this café and bar merges function with refined comfort.

As guests enter, they’re drawn into a moody, immersive space defined by deep navy curtains that cascade along the walls, creating a sense of intimacy and drama.

Event Cinemas Macarthur welcomes one of the brand’s newest Boutique experiences—an elevated cinema concept presented by Parlour Lane. Inspired by the glamour of the red carpet, this boutique cinema adds a playful twist to the luxury moviegoing experience.
