What type of events are pop-up cinemas suitable for?

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my event?
Our inflatable screens are weatherproof, so light rain shouldn’t disrupt your event. However, for very bad weather conditions, we recommend having a backup plan in place, such as a covered space or postponing the event.
How far in advance should I book my pop-up cinema hire?
It’s best to book your pop-up cinema hire as early as possible, especially for popular dates. This ensures you get the screen size and any additional services you require. We recommend contacting Skylight Cinema at least a few weeks in advance to discuss your needs and availability.
