• NEW UPDATE // “The past few months have been quite the roller coaster ride and currently life as we know it has changed for us all. Now more so than ever, I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. At the beginning of the year I posted about a new sense of optimism. Despite all that has happened, that sense remains. During lockdown, we have been starved of two key things: social interaction and out of home entertainment. The independent cinema experience provides escapism and entertainment in a social setting, and this pause for breath means that we will have plans in place to safely guarantee the wellbeing of our customers when the time comes. The UK cinema industry re-opens it’s doors on the 4th July and that is when we will be recommencing our plans, with our sincerest hope to be back on site within several weeks.” For the full update, sign up to our newsletter.

  • Good News Tuesday! // There’s a little mini celebration happening in HQ today. A major milestone has been reached securing our future. There is still a lot of work ahead of us but I’m thrilled to be sharing this with you, and cannot wait to get work up and running on site again. We’ve worked tirelessly to make sure we can deliver this cinema for Liphook, it’s been very challenging and I’m so pleased the hard work has been worth it. #sittight #comingsoon #backontrack #cinema #independentcinema #liphook #thelivingroomcinema #celebration

  • ** HAPPY NEW YEAR ** What many of you may not know is that The Living Room Cinema was founded all the way back in 2016. We are three years into our journey and don’t intend on stopping now. In recent months, work has stalled on the Liphook site. Rumours are circling the village, many are questioning whether the cinema is happening at all. It is. 2019 was a tricky year for small businesses. We have had to adapt and have made a number of key changes behind the scenes. We also rely on a number of partners, each facing their own challenges as a result of the unstable economic and political climate. One by one we have tackled these challenges and overcome them; at any point we could have decided enough was enough but we will not give up. 2020 brings a new sense of optimism, confidence and security. And when we finally do get to the finish line, the changes we’ve put in place will ensure we are in a far better position than ever before. We believe in the magic of independent cinema, and we believe that Liphook is the place for it. Please, pay no attention to rumours and hearsay; you will hear the truth from us on our official channels (our website will soon be having an overhaul). Keep the faith, and we thank you for all of your support and patience. Until then, I urge you to visit an independent cinema a little further afield. My top picks for the next month: Jojo Rabbit, 1917, The Personal History of David Copperfield 😊🎬 Claire & TLRC team

  • • ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT • (And to those who work very hard to make it so) It won’t have escaped you that we’ve been a little quiet on here of late. Bringing a project the scope and scale of a cinema is a monumental task, and relies on a number of pieces of the puzzle falling into place at exactly the right time. At present, there is a huge amount of uncertainty in the business world which has resulted in a few bumps in the road for us and challenges to overcome. But overcoming them we are; we are still moving forward, if a little later than scheduled. So please bear with us - your support is invaluable and thank you to everyone who has reached out in recent weeks. It will be worth the wait, I promise! Claire & TLRC team

  • Today we visited our independent cinema friends @thepicturehouseuckfield for the @uk_cinema_association branch meeting. Kev and his team were awarded the Cinema of the Year accolade (under 24 screens) and it’s a great example of how a cinema in a small town can become a real community asset with a passionate team and a fabulous offer. You’ve got new competition next year, guys! 😉 #cinema #thelivingroomcinema #independentcinema #liphook #thepicturehouseuckfield

  • Getting back into work after a four day weekend is hard enough at the best of times, let alone after a fantastic weekend filled with sunshine and chocolate. Luckily these words from JM Barrie sum up our Tuesday. There’s so much to do, but it’s all so exciting. We hope you all had a wonderful Easter. #cinema #thelivingroomcinema #independentcinema #motivation #inspiration #design #comingsoon #liphook

  • In film news, the #cannes2019 line-up was revealed yesterday. This is always an exciting read; it gives us a good indication of some of the more specialised titles that may be making their way onto our screens and some of the more mainstream Out of Competition titles which get their world premiere. Cannes favourites set to debut their new films include Pedro Almodóvar, Terence Malik and Ken Loach and will be joined on the red carpet by a host of stars. A notable absence is Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” - it’s not finished apparently - so sadly no Brad Pitt on the red carpet for us this year. But without a doubt the most hotly anticipated world premiere will be Dexter Fletcher’s “Rocketman” which signals a big studio return to the festival and with Elton himself in attendance. Exciting stuff. #festivaldecannes #rocketman #eltonjohn #cinema #film #filmnews #indepedentfilm

  • Today, a little bit of movie magic is confined to the history books as Disney completes its acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the studio that brought us Avatar (the most successful film of all time), Die Hard, Star Wars, The Greatest Showman and Bohemian Rhapsody. Hollywood’s “Big Six” - Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Disney, Fox, Universal - become the Big Five. For cinema audiences this won’t mean a great deal - great filmmakers will still make great films and we will bring them all to you in the comfort of your friendly local cinema. But it’s a sad day for Hollywood and our thoughts are with our friends and colleagues at @20centuryfoxuk in particular. The legacy Fox leaves is an impressive one and its resume is spectacular. They really are The Greatest Showmen. 31st May 1935 - 19th March 2019 🦊 What’s your favourite Fox film? 🎞 🎥 🍿 #film #movie #moviemagic #hollywood #20thcenturyfox #cinema #disney #sony #universal #warnerbros #paramount #thelivingroomcinema #moviehistory #movietrivia #disneyfoxdeal

  • Today I had the pleasure of visiting Derry’s in Co. Armagh, who are designing our cinema seats. An Aladdin’s cave full of treasures, the craftsmanship is superb and no wonder they’re supplying high end furniture to some of the coolest places, from Manhattan to Dublin. We can soon add Liphook to that list; with some tweaks to design, fabric and colours, I think we have decided on our seats! 🙌🏻 #cinema #boutiquecinema #design #independentcinema #fabric #furniture #comingsoon #thelivingroomcinema
