Do you hire films?

Yes, but to show a 35mm film you will need a 35mm projector, a large screen and a sophisticated sound system along with a skilled projectionist. So we provide the whole package. Email us for details.

How far do you travel?

We currently operate within a 50 mile radius of Preston Lancashire, but are expanding all the time, so if you are outside this area, please enquire.

How much does it cost?

There isn’t a fixed cost for the showing of a movie. Charges are generally based on ticket sales and the number of people attending. A fixed cost however can be agreed for a private party showing, please enquire.

How do we book?

Booking is simple, simply email or telephone us with your details, location and the date you are thinking of and we will advise you of what movies will be available for that date. We agree the date and send you the booking form for completion and return.

Is there a minimum number of viewers required?

We don’t require an organiser to guarantee a minimum number of viewers, but to be viable, the organisers need 80 or more people to attend their event.

When and how do we pay?

Payment is due immediately following the show, on presentation of our invoice.

Why should we choose Community Cinemas Ltd?

Community Cinemas Ltd are unique in bringing huge, newly released Hollywood blockbuster movies to local communities. In short we provide local people with fantastic, quality entertainment, without the hike into town?

Can you show films in any size room?

The larger the room the better the audiences experience will be, with the true cinema big screen and dolby surround sound visual and audio effects. As a rule of thumb, if the room can seat 80 people it will be large enough. If you are unsure, please make a note of the rooms, dimensions (width, length & height) and enquire.

Can anyone attend the shows?

It is the organisers’ responsibility to ensure that young people meet the minimum age requirement set by the British Board of Film Classification’s for the film to be shown. See the link to film classifications (www.bbfc.co.uk)

Can you show films outside?

No! Unfortunately not with the unpredictability of the British weather (however, if a marquee was provided then this will be considered, but please get in touch so someone can come and have a look).

How do we arrange refreshments?

Like all cinemas, popcorn, snacks & drinks contribute in no small way to profitability. It is up to you the organisers and indeed it is in your interest to arrange for the sale and to benefit from the sale of snacks and drinks. To assist in this we arrange for a short interval, half way through the movie.

Do you do private screenings?

Private screenings are available, please enquire.

Who decides what films will be shown?

When you advise us of the date you would like the show to take place, we can advise you of what films are available for that date.

| Back to Top of Page |

How big is the screen?

The screen size is dictated by the room size. Normally it is the room’s height that forces a reduction in the full screen size of 18feet x 10feet, that’s around 5.5m x 3m if you prefer decimal. We would however use the largest suitable screen size for the room. See the picture below for scale.

How good is the sound quality?

The sound quality could not be better, with full stereo, dolby surround sound.

What is the picture quality like?

The picture quality simply could not be better.
