The Screen Room

The Screen Room was a 21-seat arthouse cinema in the Hockley Village area of Nottingham, England. The combination of a single screen and 21 person capacity have earned it the title of "the world's smallest cinema",^[1]

Opened on 27 September 2002, the cinema mainly screened world cinema and cult classics. The building had previously housed a cinema, although it mainly screened X-rated films.^[1] The Screen Room closed its doors in 2011. A message left on the official website reads:

The Screen Room is now closed. The cinema opened in 2002 and closed in early 2011 when our 9 year lease came to an end. We would like to thank everyone for their custom over the years and wish them the very best for the future. With just 21 seats, the Screen Room was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s smallest cinema.
