In order to choose from all of these cinemas and theatres for hire, you will have to compare them with each other. Tagvenue makes it very easy, but you still have to know what you’re looking for. Here are the most important things to consider when choosing a private cinema in London:
There are many different reasons you would want to organise a private screening. First of all, it’s just a great way to hang out with friends. While you could organise a movie night at home, watching movies or videos with your friends on a big screen is going to make the event much more enjoyable and special. If you’ve just finished your own movie, doing an open screening would encourage indie movie enthusiasts to check out your work. If your venue allows for this, you can even sell tickets for the screening so that you can raise funds for your next project, or a charity of your choice. If you have movie critics or producers you want to impress, it’s usually expected to carry out the screening in a dedicated screening room to give them the ultimate experience.
Tagvenue is going to help you take your movie watching experience to the next level. If you still have any doubts or question, you can check out the FAQ section below.
You can hire venues for private screenings in London for as little as £120 per hour. If you’re looking for something bigger, you should expect prices anywhere from £300 to £2000 per hour and beyond. Hire costs will vary depending on the time of day, size and location of the venue. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Private cinemas and theatres are especially abundant in Central London. For more intimate screening spaces, you should start your search around Soho Square Gardens. Covent Garden and St. Giles also have some medium sized cinema rooms you could be interested in. If you’re looking for the best of the best, there are some huge cinema spaces for hire right by Leicester Square.
In London you can hire a private cinema for any time of the day. While most of them will be available between 8:00 and 18:00, you can find cinemas that will allow screening for as late as 1:00.
Modern cinemas allow for consumption for any digital media. You can watch one of the movies from the cinema’s library, give them a CD or USB drive with a private recording of yours, or even watch YouTube videos! When it comes to analog means of video, such as roll film or VHS, not every cinema may have these available. Remember to check the venue page for more details and ask the venue manager about the terms of service.
