We love hosting in-cinema gaming parties, and in particular this one gaming concept where lots of people can play at once with your own phone as the controller.

Perfect for a birthday party or to tag onto the end of a conference 👾

Send us an email on [email protected] to book the cinema for this 📽️

We have a silly idea, and we would like your help! 🤣

We want to emboss a little seal on the first page of all the books in our gift shop that signifies they were once on our shelves. Please help us with the wording!! We were thinking something real pretentious like “The Bioscope Library of Cinematic Arts” 🤣

Please comment below with suggestions on what it could say. If we go with yours, we would love you to come pick out a second hand book of your choice to say thank you!
