Choose any film, create a screening, and bring St Annes together for a night at The Island
If there's a film you'd love to see at The Island - a classic, a cult favourite, or something that's never been on the big screen here - you can start a screening in minutes. Create a public community screening and invite others to join you.
Create a ScreeningInstead of paying hundreds to hire a screen privately, start a community screening on Screenwave. Share the cost between your group, only pay if enough people join, and get a full refund if they don't.

Sitting right on the Lancashire coast, The Island is the kind of independent cinema that reminds you why the big screen matters. Equipped with the latest DCP digital projection and sound technology, every screening looks and sounds exactly as the filmmaker intended. Sink into genuinely comfortable seating, enjoy spotless facilities, and experience that rare thing — a cinema that actually feels like it was built for its community. And with Screenwave, that community spirit goes further. Whether you're planning a birthday, a corporate event, a charity night or just want to see your favourite film the way it was meant to be seen, The Island makes it easy to make the screen yours. Pick your film, invite your people, and let The Island do the rest.
