The building was originally built as a cinema back in 1913 and we are incredibly lucky to have retained many of its original features. The original proscenium arch takes pride of place with it's ornate plasterwork alongside the beautiful curved ceiling, both of which are highlighted in gold. All of the armchairs are moveable.

Tech: DCP, DVD, BluRay or HDMI 2k digital projection and 7:1 surround sound.

If you hire screen one, you can also enjoy shared use of the bar space. The bar is open from 10am til 11pm daily (earlier close on Sundays), so your guests would be welcome to hang around for pre/post-screening drinks!
