Trusted Outdoor Cinema Hire Since 2004
Since 2004, we’ve been the go-to experts for outdoor cinema hire across the UK, proudly serving Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset, London, and beyond. Our journey began even earlier, rooted in the projection rooms of iconic venues such as the Odeon Cinema and major film studios. This deep-seated background in traditional cinema is the foundation we now bring to unforgettable outdoor movie events.

These include high-quality projectors and professional inflatable screens—perfect for magical evening showings beneath the stars.
Professional Equipment & On-Site Technical Support
Quality and service are at the heart of everything we do. Our experienced technicians manage the entire process, from setup through to live operation, ensuring smooth projection and clear, immersive sound throughout your event. Using modern cinema technology, we deliver crisp visuals and rich audio for a true big-screen experience outdoors.
Tailored Support for Every Event

Our friendly team is always on hand to answer questions and offer tailored advice, ensuring your outdoor cinema event runs exactly as you envision. From the planning stage to the final credits, we work closely with you every step of the way.
Advanced Outdoor Cinema Screen Technology
All of our inflatable cinema screens are air-sealed, meaning there’s no continuous pump noise to distract from quiet scenes. Once inflated, the screens remain stable throughout the event, requiring only minimal adjustment if temperatures change. This makes them ideal for open spaces, offering excellent durability, safety, and viewing quality.
Safe & Thoughtful Equipment Placement
Safety is always a priority. All technical equipment is positioned securely behind the screen, well away from audience areas. This ensures a clean, organised setup and a worry-free experience for guests of all ages.

From intimate garden screenings to large-scale public events, our outdoor cinema hire service combines expert knowledge, professional equipment, and outstanding support. Let us help you create a memorable outdoor cinema experience that your audience will talk about long after the credits roll.

Outdoor Cinema Hire – Frequently Asked Questions
Planning an outdoor cinema event? Here are some of the questions we are regularly asked about our outdoor cinema and outside screen hire service.
What is included with outdoor cinema hire?
We can provide a complete outdoor cinema setup, including the large screen, projector, professional sound system, playback equipment, cables and all the equipment required to operate the cinema.
Our team can deliver, set up and test the equipment before your audience arrives. Depending on the event, we can also provide technicians to remain on site and operate the cinema throughout the screening.
How long have you been providing outdoor cinema?
We have been providing outdoor cinema services since 2004, backed by many more years of experience in cinema projection and audiovisual equipment.
Our background includes working with professional cinema projection equipment, so outdoor cinema is much more than simply putting a projector in front of a large screen.
What size outdoor cinema screens do you have?
We have different screen sizes available depending on the number of people attending, the size of the venue and the viewing distance.
Tell us approximately how many people you are expecting and the dimensions of your available space, and we can recommend a suitable screen.
Can you provide outdoor cinema anywhere in the UK?
Yes. We provide outdoor cinema and large screen hire for events across the UK.
We regularly cover Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Dorset, London, Greater London and surrounding areas, and we can travel further for larger events.
Can an outdoor cinema be used during daylight?
A traditional projector-based outdoor cinema works best once daylight has faded.
Even a powerful projector cannot compete with direct sunlight. For daytime events, an outdoor LED screen is normally the better option.
We can advise you on the best solution depending on your event time, location and budget.
What time can the film start?
This depends on the time of year.
During the summer months, you may need to wait until later in the evening for the light level to become suitable for projection.
When you contact us with your event date and location, we can advise you on an appropriate screening time.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain does not automatically mean that an outdoor cinema event has to be cancelled. However, electrical equipment must always be protected and safety comes first.
For some events, particularly schools and community venues, it may also be possible to arrange an indoor backup location.
We recommend discussing a bad-weather plan with us when organising your event.
What happens if it is windy?
Wind is one of the most important considerations when using a large outdoor screen.
We continually consider weather conditions and will never operate equipment when we believe conditions are unsafe.
The final decision regarding the safe use of the screen and equipment must always remain with our technicians.
Are your inflatable cinema screens noisy?
Our air-sealed inflatable cinema screens do not require a blower to run continuously throughout the film.
This means you don’t have the constant noise of an electric fan during quiet parts of the movie.
Do you supply the sound system?
Yes. We can supply a professional sound system suitable for the size of the audience and venue.
Good sound is extremely important at an outdoor cinema. We position the speakers carefully so that the audience can clearly hear the film without simply making the system unnecessarily loud.
Do you supply a generator?
Yes, power solutions can be provided when required.
If your event is being held in a field, park or another location without suitable mains electricity, tell us when requesting your quotation and we can advise you on the power requirements.
Can you provide outdoor cinema for schools?
Yes. Outdoor cinema is very popular with schools, PTAs and colleges.
It can be used for fundraising evenings, end-of-term celebrations, reward events, family cinema nights and special occasions.
We can help you choose a screen and sound system suitable for your school grounds.
Can you provide cinema for councils and community events?
Yes. We can provide equipment for council, community and public outdoor cinema events.
These events can require additional planning, including power, site access, audience positioning, equipment security and technical staffing.
Contact us as early as possible so we can discuss your event properly.
Can I hire an outdoor cinema for a private party?
Yes. Outdoor cinema isn’t only for large public events.
We can provide equipment for private events, parties, clubs, organisations and suitable garden screenings.
The amount of equipment required will depend on the size of your audience and available space.
Can you provide popcorn and other cinema food?
Yes. We can also arrange traditional cinema-style refreshments including fresh popcorn and candyfloss, subject to availability.
This can be a great addition to school, community and corporate cinema events.
Do I need a licence to show a film outdoors?
Possibly.
If you are showing a copyrighted film to the public, a club, school audience or other group outside your own domestic household, you may require permission or an appropriate film licence.
Film licensing is separate from the physical screen and equipment hire.
If you are unsure, speak to us before advertising your film.
Can I charge people to watch the film?
You may be able to, but you need to make sure that the film licence you obtain allows the type of screening you are planning.
The rules can be different for free screenings, fundraising events and commercially ticketed screenings.
Always check the licensing requirements before advertising or selling tickets.
Do you provide technicians?
Yes.
For larger outdoor cinema events, having experienced technical staff on site can be extremely important.
Our technicians can oversee the screen, projection, sound and playback equipment and deal with technical issues during the event.
How much does outdoor cinema hire cost?
There isn’t one price that suits every outdoor cinema event.
The cost depends on factors including:
- Screen size
- Audience numbers
- Event location
- Delivery and collection requirements
- Projection equipment
- Sound requirements
- Power requirements
- Technical staff
- Setup and removal times
- Length and type of event
Rather than offering a package that isn’t suitable, we prefer to discuss your event and provide a quotation based on what you actually need.
What information do you need to provide a quote?
Please tell us:
- Your event date
- Event postcode or location
- Approximate audience size
- Type of event
- Film or content you plan to show
- Approximate screening time
- Whether mains electricity is available
- Whether you require technicians
- Any access restrictions at the venue
Don’t worry if you don’t know all the technical details. That’s what we’re here for.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings during the summer.
Popular dates can be booked well in advance.
However, if your event is coming up soon, it is still worth contacting us as we may have equipment available.
Why choose Outside Cinemas?
Outdoor cinema requires experience, particularly when dealing with large screens, projection, sound, changing light levels, weather and public events.
We have been providing outdoor cinema services since 2004 and bring decades of professional cinema and AV experience to our events.
We don’t just deliver a screen and leave you to work everything out. We can help you plan the technical side of your event from the initial enquiry through to the final credits.
Have Another Question?
Every outdoor cinema event is different.
If your question isn’t answered above, give us a call and tell us what you’re planning. We’re always happy to discuss your event and recommend the most suitable setup.
