Looking to host a public screening?
You're more than welcome to hire our cinema equipment for your public event.
Some ideas for a public event...
- Host a public event and sell tickets for a screening in your village hall or community centre.
- Host a movie night for your activity club. Screen Jaws for your scuba diving or kayaking club perhaps.
- Host a themed night whereby the guests dress up as the characters in the movie.
If you're hosting a public event, you may need to consider the information below and apply for the relevant licenses. We're more than happy to help you do this, but we can't do it on your behalf.
