Audiences at these little independent theatres and cinemas can be sure of an intimate experience, especially in a venue on wheels that seats just eight
While its claim to be the “smallest cinema in the solar system” may not be strictly provable, Sol Cinema is certainly the smallest in Britain to be powered entirely by the sun. It’s also a peripatetic cinema, with its screen, projector, surround-sound speakers and plush bench seating for eight fitted into a tiny vintage Bluebird Eurocamper caravan. Although based on the Gower peninsula in south Wales, the cinema is towed all over the country, often turning up at festivals. Patrons pick up a ticket (admission is free) and some popcorn at the caravan’s window and saunter up a red carpet before surrendering said ticket to a uniformed usherette. All the films shown are shorts, lasting no more than 10 minutes, so there’s a good chance you’ll still have some popcorn left when you leave. • thesolcinema.org
