The Cinema Museum

A labyrinth of projectors and picture-palace ghosts

In a former workhouse where Charlie Chaplin once stayed as a child, The Cinema Museum hoards the dreams of a century. Projectors, posters, velvet seats rescued from demolished picture palaces — it's a labyrinth of cinema's material memory. Ronald Grant's collection feels less like a museum than a love letter to the flickering dark.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
