If you love movies but could do without the hard seats, sticky floors and noisy crowds, Gold Class at Event Cinemas Whitford offers a very different kind of outing. Think plush recliners, a glass of wine, and restaurant‑style food brought straight to your seat – all without having to lift more than a finger to recline your chair.
Located within Westfield Whitford City, Gold Class is ideal for a special date night, a relaxed catch‑up with friends, or simply treating yourself to a more comfortable way to see the latest films.
First Impressions: Arriving at Whitford Gold Class
One of the nicest parts of the Gold Class experience is that it feels unhurried from the moment you arrive.
Instead of lining up at the main candy bar, you step into the dedicated Gold Class lounge – a quieter, more intimate space set apart from the hustle of the regular cinema foyer. Here you’ll find:
- Comfortable lounge seating where you can sit and chat before your film
- A fully licensed bar with wine, beer, spirits and cocktails
- Staff on hand to help with both tickets and food orders
It’s worth arriving 20–30 minutes before your session so you can settle in, order a drink, and choose something from the Gold Class menu without rushing.
The Lounge & Bar: Start Your Outing in Comfort
The Gold Class lounge at Whitford feels more like a hotel bar than a cinema waiting area. Soft lighting, upholstered chairs and small tables make it an easy place to relax, whether you’re:
- Enjoying a pre‑movie drink
- Catching up with family or friends
- Waiting while your partner buys tickets or chooses snacks
The bar offers an extensive range of drinks, including cocktails, bubbles, wine by the glass or bottle, and a range of beers and non‑alcoholic options. If you prefer a coffee, tea or soft drink, you can order those too.
You can order your food and drinks here and have them delivered to you once you’re seated in the cinema, so there’s no need to juggle trays or rush down the aisle in the dark.
(For a look at the current menu options, visit the Gold Class page on the Event Cinemas website: Gold Class – Event Cinemas and follow the “Food” and “Drink” links.)
Inside the Cinema: Recline, Relax, and Let Them Come to You
When it’s time for your session, staff will let you know, and you’ll head into one of the smaller, more intimate Gold Class auditoriums.
Instead of tightly packed rows, you’ll find:
-
Spacious, fully reclining armchairs
Each person has a large, cushioned recliner with an electric control to raise your feet and adjust the backrest to suit you. They’re wide enough that you’re not bumping elbows with anyone, and there’s room to keep a small bag by your side. -
Plenty of leg room
The seating layout is designed with wide aisles and space in front of each row, making it easier to move in and out without climbing over anyone. This can be especially helpful if you prefer to stretch your legs or need a bit of extra space. -
Side tables for food and drinks
Each seat has a small side table so your meal, snacks and drinks are within easy reach, rather than balanced on your lap.
Throughout the movie, staff provide in‑seat service, meaning your food and drinks are quietly delivered to your seat at the times you choose. You don’t have to miss a key moment in the film to go back out to the bar.
Dining in Gold Class: More Than Popcorn
One of the biggest differences between regular moviegoing and Gold Class is the menu.
Instead of just popcorn and choc tops, the Gold Class menu features a range of:
- Light bites and share plates – think sliders, fries, arancini, wings and similar options
- More substantial meals – gourmet burgers, pizzas, tacos and other main‑style options
- Desserts and sweet treats – sundaes, chocolate platters, cakes and more
- Hot and cold drinks – including barista‑style coffee, tea and a range of alcoholic drinks
You can pre‑select the time your items arrive – for example, a savoury dish at the start of the film and dessert about an hour in. Staff quietly bring everything to your seat on proper plates or platters, so it feels more like a restaurant‑and‑movie in one.
There is still the option to have traditional cinema treats such as popcorn and soft drinks if that’s your preference.
Menus can change from time to time, so it’s a good idea to check the current offerings via the Gold Class page on the Event Cinemas website before you go.
A Quieter, More Comfortable Atmosphere
Because Gold Class sessions at Whitford have fewer seats than a standard cinema, the whole experience tends to feel more relaxed. Some of the benefits many visitors appreciate are:
-
Smaller crowds and less noise
With fewer people in the room, there’s often less chatter and movement during the film. -
Comfort for longer films
The ability to recline fully, adjust your seat and stretch out makes it easier to stay comfortable through long blockbusters or double features. -
Easier social outing
The lounge and bar area make it simple to combine your movie with a drink, a meal and a good catch‑up, all in one place without moving between venues.
