New cinema screen and projectors for Northampton Filmhouse

Royal & Derngate is a long established venue for Arts based in Northampton; the Royal Theatre opened in 1884 and the Derngate Theatre opened in 1983. A £15m redevelopment project, completed in 2006, incorporated the Royal and Derngate theatres and provided additional studio spaces and a rehearsal room. In 2013 the Northampton Filmhouse was opened as a one screen digital cinema.

The Filmhouse proved to be so successful that it was decided a second screen was required to maintain and increase the diversity of their arts based and current box office hit programming to accommodate ever greater visitor numbers.

In April 2017 the second screen at Northampton Filmhouse was opened in a similar ‘cinema in a box’ style which sits alongside the original cinema. When equipping the second cinema with projection equipment the Filmhouse approached suppliers Future Projections and Medialease were quick to approve funding of two new Barco projectors and two new media servers. As a result the latest kit ensures that the viewing experience at the Filmhouse is second to none, and that the reliability of the equipment is never in doubt.

The second screen has been very well received by visitors. The experience at Northampton Filmhouse, complete with luxury leather reclining seat, posh snacks, good beer, wine and cocktails continues to delight film buffs of all ages!
