November 2024I hosted a one hour screening at Close-Up. Great space, friendly staff and a good bar for post screening drinks/chat. Excellent communication, everything was smooth and handled by the Close-up Team ahead of the event. Perfect for a screening for up to 40 or so people.

December 2024Great venue and amazing owner (Jake). Very good organization and clear communication. All my emails during the process of arranging the screening were replied to within 24 hours. Splendid evening. I will choose them again and recommend them. Thank you.

December 2024We hired close-up cinema for a screening and the team were brilliant! All staff were very friendly and helpful, they made sure everything went well on the night. It is a lovely screen and venue with a nice bar and also has an amazing library of films. Highly recommended!

December 2024A totally gorgeous venue where I chose to show my short film to cast and crew. The cinema itself is great with a good sized screen and great acoustics. The location is brilliant and Jake was super helpful. It’s good value for money and there’s a super cool bar for pre and post drinks. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

January 2025We recently hosted an event here and couldn’t be more impressed. The team was incredibly supportive and patient, creating the perfect experience for enthusiastic first-time filmmakers to screen their work. Their understanding allowed everyone to fully embrace the experience! The venue provided the perfect setting, and the staff's support ensured everything ran smoothly. We’re already looking forward to returning in the future. Highly recommend!
