Pop-Up Cinema Hire UK
Professional cinema screenings for communities, schools, businesses and events.
Bring people together with a big-screen experience at your own venue. ProScreens provides pop-up cinema hire across the UK, with professional projection, cinema screens, sound and experienced technical support.
With over 30 years of cinema projection and AV experience, we help you plan a screening that suits your audience, venue and budget. From a village hall film night to an outdoor festival, we can provide the equipment and support needed to bring your event to life.
Bringing Cinema to Your Community
A local film screening gives people somewhere to meet, socialise and enjoy a shared experience. For towns and villages without a nearby cinema, a pop-up screening can bring the big screen closer to home.
ProScreens can transform village halls, community centres, schools, churches and sports halls into temporary cinema spaces. We also provide outdoor cinema systems for parks, private grounds and suitable open spaces.
Whether you are planning a one-off fundraiser or a regular community film night, we can help you choose a suitable screen, projector and sound system.
Pop-Up Cinema for All Kinds of Venues
- Village halls and community centres
- Churches, schools and colleges

Indoor and Outdoor Pop-Up Cinema
We supply both indoor and outdoor cinema systems, with screen options ranging from compact indoor setups to large inflatable outdoor screens. We recommend the equipment according to your venue, viewing distance and audience size.
For outdoor events, we discuss weather arrangements during planning. An indoor backup may be possible where a suitable space is available, agreed in advance and practical to set up.
Outdoor projection needs suitably dark conditions for a clear picture. If your event must take place in daylight, ask us about an LED screen alternative.
Outdoor operation also depends on safe weather conditions, including wind limits for the chosen screen.

Corporate Pop-Up Cinema Events
A cinema screening gives businesses a relaxed setting in which to welcome customers, thank staff or bring the local community together.
ProScreens can provide cinema equipment for brand launches, product promotions, staff appreciation evenings, customer events, family fun days and summer parties.
We can also discuss screening approved promotional content before the film, with microphones available for welcome speeches and presentations.
Cinema for Schools and Colleges
Turn your school hall or grounds into a cinema for an end-of-term treat, PTA fundraiser or special event. We help you choose a setup that suits the space and the number of pupils, families or guests attending.
School cinema events are ideal for:
- End-of-term celebrations and reward days
- PTA and school fundraising evenings
- Educational screenings and film clubs
- Family film nights and summer events
- Christmas screenings and themed activity days
Cinema for Hospitals, Care Homes and Retirement Communities
Travelling to a commercial cinema is not practical for everyone. A mobile screening brings films into a familiar setting where residents, patients, families and staff can enjoy time together.
Tell us about access, room layout, seating and any audience requirements. We can discuss screen positioning, sound levels and suitable equipment with your venue team.
Popcorn, Candy Floss and Event Catering
Add a cinema treat through Unique Entertainment. Staffed popcorn, candy floss and food trailer options can be arranged to suit your event.
Catering is quoted separately or included within an agreed event package.
Pop-Up Cinema Hire Questions
How much does pop-up cinema hire cost?
The price depends on your location, screen size, audience, equipment, access and staffing requirements. Send us your event details and we will prepare a tailored quotation.
Can you set up a cinema in a village hall?
Yes. We can recommend an indoor screen, projector and sound system once we know the room dimensions, available projection distance and audience size.
Can an outdoor screening move indoors?
Sometimes. A suitable indoor venue, equipment plan and changeover arrangements need to be agreed in advance. Moving indoors depends on access, space and the time available.
Can you show films during daylight?
Projected outdoor films need suitably dark conditions. For daytime events, speak to us about an LED screen.
Can we use a DVD, Blu-ray or DCP?
We can provide playback equipment for these formats by arrangement. Tell us what you plan to show before booking so we can confirm the appropriate system and testing requirements.
Is the film licence included?
Film screening permission should be discussed separately when booking. Owning a DVD, Blu-ray or DCP does not itself provide permission for a public screening. We can discuss what needs to be arranged for your event.
Do you provide a technician?
We can include experienced technicians to install, test and operate the cinema equipment. The staffing and support included will be set out in your quotation.
Do you travel across the UK?
Yes. We provide pop-up cinema hire across the UK by arrangement. Delivery, access and event timings are considered when preparing your quote.
