Carrie’s expert take

“If you want to get people out of a conventional conference room, Genesis Cinema is a really fun alternative. Screen 1 gives you a proper auditorium for a large presentation or company conference, while the smaller studios are brilliant for more intimate screenings and presentations. I’d also consider it for a company away day where you want to mix the business part of the day with something more social afterwards.”

Best for:

Private screenings, conferences, company presentations, product previews, film premieres, Q&As, company away days, corporate hospitality and creative events.

Standout:

The real standout is the choice of five very different cinema screens. Screen 1 seats 566 guests plus two wheelchair spaces, providing a ready-made auditorium for larger presentations and screenings, while Screens 2 and 3 each seat 154. For smaller VIP events, Studios 4 and 5 have just 42 and 40 seats respectively, with comfortable sofas and armchairs rather than conventional cinema seating.

Good to know:

Genesis offers more than just screening rooms. Bar Paragon has its own stage, PA and projector and can be configured for talks and presentations or cleared for dancing afterwards. There's also The Yard, a partly covered outdoor space with patio heaters and a PA system, which can be used for everything from barbecues to outdoor screenings.
