Turn your school grounds, village green, garden or event space into an open-air cinema with Outside Cinemas.

We provide outdoor cinema hire, inflatable screen hire, projection and sound for events of all sizes. From your first enquiry to the final credits, we help you choose the right equipment and plan a screening that suits your audience and venue.

With decades of cinema projection and audiovisual experience, we bring together professional equipment and friendly, practical technical support.

Complete Outdoor Cinema Hire

An outdoor film night needs more than a projector and a screen. Screen size, viewing distance, sound coverage, available power and fading daylight all affect the experience.

We bring these details together with a cinema setup tailored to your event. Your agreed package can include:

• A large inflatable cinema screen.
• A projector selected for your screen size and venue.
• A professional sound system.
• Suitable film playback equipment.
• Delivery, installation, testing and removal.
• Technicians to operate the cinema throughout the screening.
• Generator hire where suitable mains electricity is unavailable.

Tell us what you are planning, and we will explain what you need in straightforward terms.

Outdoor Cinema for Schools, Communities & Private Events

Bring families together for a school fundraising evening, create a community film night or give your guests a different way to celebrate.

• School and PTA film nights.
• Town and parish council events.
• Village and community screenings.
• Charity fundraisers.
• Corporate events and staff celebrations.
• Holiday parks and sports clubs.
• Private parties and garden cinema evenings.

Whether you are expecting a small gathering or a larger audience, we will recommend a suitable screen, projector and sound system.

Cinema Experience That Goes Back Further

We have supplied outdoor cinema events since 2004, with a background that reaches back into traditional cinema projection rooms, including Odeon cinemas and film studio work.

That experience matters when setting up a temporary cinema. We understand projection, picture presentation, playback and sound, as well as the practical challenges of working outdoors.

Our team helps you plan the technical side so you can concentrate on welcoming your guests.

A Big Screen Without Constant Blower Noise

Our air-sealed inflatable cinema screens do not need a blower running continuously during the film.

Once inflated and secured, they provide a large projection surface without the constant fan noise associated with continuously inflated screens. Our team monitors the installation and makes adjustments where needed.

Screen positioning and securing arrangements are planned around the venue, ground conditions and weather.

Careful Setup & On-Site Support

We install and test the cinema before the screening, checking the picture, playback and sound.

Where rear projection is suitable, we position the projector behind the screen and keep the technical area restricted to staff. Speaker positions and cable routes are planned to suit the audience layout and access routes.

Weather conditions remain an important part of every outdoor event. Our technicians assess conditions and may adjust, pause or stop the screening if necessary for safety.

Popcorn, Candy Floss & Event Catering

Complete the cinema experience with freshly made popcorn, candy floss or a staffed food trailer.

Through Unique Entertainment, we can arrange catering options for school, community, corporate and private events, subject to availability.

Catering is quoted separately or included within an agreed event package.
