The Vintage Mobile Cinema
The Vintage Mobile Cinema company brings you a unique slice of cinema and automotive history, combined together to give the audience an exciting film viewing experience unavailable anywhere else.
The 22 seat movie theatre is in the sound treated, fully upholstered and climate controlled rear of the vehicle, with carefully tiered seating to ensure everyone gets maximum viewing pleasure. All films are shown on the high definition (HD) digital projection unit, complete with Dolby 7:1 surround sound for the full cinema experience.
The cinema comes with two fully trained members of staff to run all the technical aspects and who can facilitate audience management. All public liability insurance up to £5m is included as standard. We have over decade of events experience and can offer advice on how best to utilise the mobile cinema for your event.
Inside the luxury theatre space
This was one of seven units custom built for the British government in the late 1960’s, used at the time to promote British industry. Sadly it looks like all other six have disappeared forever, leaving us with the only example of a quite stunning piece of British transport heritage. All efforts have been made to stay faithful to the original format in the restoration of the vehicle, with compromise only being made to benefit the audience and their safety. We are very grateful to Hills Body Works for their help and advice and the care they have taken over the immaculate restoration of the vehicle’s exterior.
The Vintage Mobile Cinema was launched in May 2010. It will embark on a tour as part of a project based at the Musuem of Barnstaple & North Devon, and will be featuring at the North Devon Festival. For more information go the Movie Bus website. We are based in the South West of England and are available for hire or collaboration and will consider working with anyone, anywhere. Please feel free to make contact.
