Dinner & a Movie at Meadow Brook
The Great Estate is the perfect setting for a sensational movie experience whether you’re a film buff or simply looking for a unique night out.
From sparkling suspense to classic horror, select a thrilling film from our 2024 collection — “Knives Out,” “House on Haunted Hill” and “The Birds” –and see it projected on the big screen in our historic two-story Gothic-inspired Ballroom after enjoying a casual three-course dinner and cash bar in the Christopher Wren Dining Room.
When you enjoy an evening of film and food at the Great Estate, you’ll also experience what it was like to be part of the family – as the ballroom was the original location for the Wilson family’s home movie theatre and features a drop-down screen and original built-in projection booth.
