You can also pack your own spread and be as gourmet as you like – or not! Bring your own booze or buy a drink from the bar.  

It can get busy, so BYO picnic blanket in case all the tables are taken. 

Charlies Pizza pre-order information   

Charlies Pizza is the food provider for Somerville Auditorium during the Lotterywest Films season. Pizzas are available 7 nights a week from Mon 25 Nov 2024 – Sun 6 April 2025.  

Online ordering is the only way to pre-order. Charlies Pizza do not accept phone or text orders. You can order at the counter on the night but may incur long wait times for pizza on very busy nights. Online orders close at 5pm for same day pickup, or earlier if fully booked.  

You can pre-order online here.   

Please note when ordering, you must select a pickup time from the drop-down time box in the shopping cart and click 'Change to Later'. If you do not select a pickup time, you will automatically be allocated the earliest time available. You will receive a confirmation text/email for all successfully placed online orders. No confirmation means your order did not process. Your order may be ready 10 minutes either side of your selected time. You will be notified when your order is ready. 

While you are permitted to bring your own chairs, you will be required to sit at the back of the venue behind the existing seating.   

There are many deckchairs with cushions as well as bean bags to choose from, thanks to our wonderful supporter Lotterywest. We do encourage you to bring your own comfort items (such as extra pillows) just in case, as well as a blanket or jacket as the nights get cooler after the sun has set. 

Anyone who attends a film screening that is cancelled will be automatically refunded to their original payment method. If you do not have access to that payment method, please contact [email protected] with your order number.   

If your tickets were a gift, the refund will be returned to the original purchaser.
