Here we reveal everything you need to know about the genre plus how to put on a show-stopping event of your very own.

What do some of the world’s biggest and best festivals have in common?

Open-air cinema, of course. From documentary festivals to family focused events, they’ve all used the magic of open-air cinema as an extra entertainment feature.

Hire an outdoor cinema, they said. It’ll be fun, they said…

If you’ve got questions on how to stage the best event for your audience, welcome to the right place.
Here at Urban Outdoor Cinema our experts have put together this step by step guide just for you.

You could say we are the dream team outdoor cinema company. Working on events covering the most prestigious association football tournament on the planet is always exciting. But to do it so close to the action of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is quite another thing.

Our experts at Urban Entertainment were called upon to create a fan park that would capture all of the excitement on a big screen. And boy did we hit the back of the net…

When it comes to Valentine’s drive-in cinema events, you could hire any old outdoor cinema. You could keep it basic with any vaguely romantic film and throw in a heart or two for minimal effort. But that would be a big mistake, big. HUGE.

Of course you are. Any movie fan knows this is a ghoulishly great time of year to enjoy horror movies on the big screen.

But debate rages on as to which film is the absolute finest for October 31. Here we lift the lid on our cream of the crop at Urban Entertainment.
