The Kinema in the Woods, Historic movie theater in Woodhall Spa, United Kingdom
Description
The Kinema in the Woods is a cinema housed in a wooden building surrounded by tall trees in Lincolnshire, offering regular film screenings throughout the year. The space has a limited capacity and maintains its original character from its long history.
History
The cinema was founded in the early 1900s and is one of the few theaters in the United Kingdom still using its original rear projection system. This old technique is a rare remnant from the history of early cinema.
Culture
The cinema presents a varied program of current releases, independent films, and classic movies that draw visitors from across the region. The small screen and intimate setting create a special experience for people who love cinema.
Practical
Visitors can purchase tickets at the box office or reserve seats through the cinema's website. Parking is available in the adjacent forest area and the site is easy to reach.
Did you know?
The projection system works backwards, with images reflected through a mirror to overcome the spatial constraints of the original pavilion building. This unusual setup allows the cinema to preserve its distinctive architecture.
