A quote does not reserve equipment. Your deposit and our confirmation secure the booking. Booking terms.

What is a screen tech?

A screen tech looks after playback, live camera switching and content changes during your event. For straightforward HDMI playback, we set up the screen and show you how to connect your own compatible laptop or media player, so a dedicated tech is optional. The outdoor cinema package already includes a screen tech.

Community, school, council and business events

Outdoor film nights built around your audience

Bring families together for a community screening, plan a school or PTA fundraiser, or add a film night to a council or corporate programme. The LED display supports daytime and evening screenings without waiting for projection conditions.

Choose an audience band in the calculator so we can plan sound coverage. We then agree the viewing layout, screening schedule and playback format with you.

Planning your outdoor screening

Allow time for delivery, setup and playback checks before guests arrive. Tell us about access, firm level ground, seating layout, nearby residents and any venue sound restrictions.

Our screen tech handles the agreed playback and technical operation. For multi-day events, include each screening and overnight site arrangements in the brief.

What you need to arrange

You provide the appropriately licensed film or show and arrange screening rights, venue and event permissions. Agree the source with us in advance; a household subscription and untested internet connection are not a public-screening plan.

Seating, toilets, catering, stewarding and other audience facilities are your responsibility unless separately agreed. Plan weather contingencies with the venue and event team.

Official public screening guidance

Screen, soundtrack and technical support included

The cinema package includes the PA, generator and technician. You do not need to add them separately. Delivery is calculated for your postcode and the full hire schedule, and additional AV requirements can be discussed in your enquiry.

For a different programme, explore sporting-event screen hire or talk to Ash about your film night.

Sound included

The soundtrack is part of the package.

Your cinema package includes a PA system, set up and operated by our technician. We plan coverage for your audience so the dialogue, music and atmosphere reach the crowd, not just the front row.

Outdoor cinema hire questions

What is included in the outdoor cinema package?

The technical package includes the 7m x 4m LED screen, PA, playback equipment, generator and screen technician, with setup, operation and collection. The calculator includes delivery for your postcode and schedule and sizes the sound package for your selected audience band.

What do we need to arrange?

You arrange the venue, screening rights, licensed film or show, event permissions and audience facilities. Seating, toilets, catering, stewarding and access management remain your responsibility unless separately agreed. We agree the playback source and technical plan before the screening.

Is outdoor cinema suitable for schools and community events?

Yes. We can plan technical packages for school and PTA film nights, council programmes, community screenings and corporate events. Tell us the audience, age range, venue and film schedule so viewing and sound can be planned.

Can we screen a film before dark?

The outdoor LED display works for daytime and evening programmes. We discuss ambient light, viewing distance and the screen position when planning your screening.

How do we choose the audience size?

Choose the band covering your expected attendance. It helps us plan PA coverage; venue capacity, seating layout and sightlines are assessed separately. Contact us if your event is larger than the available bands.

Can you show sponsors or welcome slides before the film?

Yes. Send approved slides and videos in advance and agree the running order with the technician. We can include welcome messages, sponsor content and event notices around the screening.

Can we use a streaming subscription?

Agree the licensed source and playback format with us first. A household subscription does not automatically grant public screening rights, and venue internet may not support reliable playback. The organiser arranges the relevant permissions.

Can we run a multi-day outdoor cinema?

Yes, subject to availability and site suitability. Enter the full hire period, then share the daily programme, overnight security and access arrangements. The quotation confirms the crew and equipment schedule.

How much does outdoor cinema hire cost?

Use the cinema calculator with your audience band, dates and postcode for a guide price covering the technical package and logistics. Describe any additional AV separately. A quotation does not secure a booking until the agreed deposit and booking terms are satisfied.

What happens in bad weather?

We agree an operating and contingency plan around the site and equipment limits. Severe weather can affect the technical setup and audience safety. You arrange audience facilities and site decisions with the relevant event team.
