Where & How to Join Our Cinema Experience
Imagine a night out under the stars.
Surrounded by friends, family, and stories worth sharing.
A slow, sensory evening where you can unwind, reconnect, and experience your favourite films in a truly immersive open-air setting.
That’s the heart of our cinema experiences.
More than just movies, we offer a full evening out with curated food, drinks, the occasional themed twist, and a setting designed for presence.
We screen a diverse mix of films, sometimes playful, sometimes nostalgic, always intentional.
Private hire options are also available for those planning a special celebration.
Hosted in peaceful garden spaces, our monthly residencies blend atmosphere, entertainment, and togetherness for the perfect night out.
