In focus: The Projection Room

We've been taking some pictures in the projection room this morning of our 35mm projector, and thought you might like to see some of them! We've just picked some of our favourites, inside and outside!

About the Project

The Regal Cinema in Tenbury Wells opened in 1937, providing film entertainment for the people of Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire. Over the years it has been an important and much-loved part of the town, growing to include an enlarged stage and a community centre.

Supported by a grant of over £680,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund, renovation works took place between October 2011 and Summer 2012 to restore and repair many of the traditional features that still exist in the cinema today. Exquisitely painted original murals by George Legge, the 1930s auditorium lighting scheme and parquet flooring are just some of the features that were re-instated during the restoration.

The cinema is now operated by the Regal Tenbury Trust, a charitable trust made up of volunteers from the town. The full programme of films, music and live events can be seen at www.regaltenbury.co.uk, with online booking available.
