The Kinema in the Woods

Looking for a unique cinema experience? Step back in time and experience the magic of cinema at The Kinema in the Woods. Nestled in a building that has stood since the late 19th Century, this historic cinema has been enchanting audiences since September 1922.

What to expect from this visit

One of its unique features is Screen One, where the image is projected from behind the screen due to its low roof trusses. This rarity makes The Kinema the only full-time cinema in the UK still utilizing rear projection, offering a truly authentic cinematic experience.

But the charm doesn't stop there. Screen One also boasts a Compton Kinestra organ, featuring an ornate lacquered red and gold console with an eighteenth-century oriental design. Regularly played by The Kinema's resident organist, offering the perfect blend of nostalgia and ambience to your viewing experience.
