Choose any film, create a screening, and bring Blackpool together for a night at The Regent
If there's a film you'd love to see at The Regent - 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.
Create a Screening
There's something modern multiplexes can't replicate. Built in an era when cinema was an occasion, The Regent has absorbed decades of gasps, laughter, and applause. Its atmosphere does half the job before the lights even go down. It's a natural home for classic horror and silent films — but the magic works for anything. Cult favourites, family nights, one-off events. Whatever you want to see, The Regent gives it weight. Choose your film. Bring Blackpool together. Make it a night.
Create a ScreeningNo — these are community-led screenings created by film fans.
No. Screenings are public and funded by multiple backers, not private hire.
It doesn't go ahead and all backers are refunded.
It costs £6.00 to start a screening, which counts towards the funding target.
Nestled inside a stunning 1920s picture house, The Regent Cinema is one of Blackpool's most unique and loveable venues. A beautifully preserved single screen, set within a building housing antiques, vintage finds and retro treasures — it's a cinema experience like no other. Whether you're a film lover, a history buff, or just after something a little different, The Regent is the real deal.
