Things To Do At Kinema in the Woods
Kinema in the Woods isn’t just a regular cinema – it’s a nostalgic trip back in time. Having opened in 1922, it's one of the UK’s oldest working cinemas and still has many of its original quirks.

The warm and cosy atmosphere makes you experience cinema in a brand new way, and watching a film feel like a truly special occasion.
Did you know a real-life organist appears during the intermission to play classic tunes on the Compton Organ? This tradition has been going strong for decades and adds an extra sprinkle of magic to the experience!
The old-fashioned cinema itself is properly old-school with ice creams in the interval, live organ music and fantastic retro decor. It’s kind of like taking a step back in time, plus the foyer is packed with vintage movie memorabilia, like classic film posters! See if you can recognise any of the classics.
The team host matinee screenings on weekends during the school holidays but check their schedule to find out what’s on.
