The Nomad Cinema

FAQs

GENERAL

How do I buy tickets?

Please note: we issue electronic tickets – you will not receive tickets in the post. Use our What’s On or Buy Tickets Now sections to browse our upcoming events and click through to our online box office, which is managed by We Got Tickets. If you are having any trouble buying tickets, please consult their FAQs page. Tickets must be bought online prior to the event and our events have limited capacities. In some cases, we may have returns available on the door, but this is by no means the case at every venue.

Who is eligible for concessionary tickets?

  • Seniors 65 and over
  • Students [with proof of status]
  • Children 14 and under [those under 3 go free!]
  • Jobseekers [with proof of status]
  • Anyone with a disability, learning difficulties or special needs
Can I make a group booking?

If you are bringing a group to a Nomad Cinema event, please get in touch with by emailing us at  hello@whereisthenomad.com. We offer discounted tickets to groups of 10 or more booking together, and groups of 20 or more get special treats too – get in touch so we can give you the VIP treatment!

What if an event is SOLD OUT?

You can email us at hello@whereisthenomad.com quoting film, date and venue and we’ll add you to our waiting list. Alternatively, choose something completely different, or do both!

Can I bring children?

We welcome family groups. The classification of each film is clearly marked, so please use this as a guide as to whether it is suitable for your children. Please ensure that your children are accompanied by an adult at all times and ensure that they do not disturb other audience members during the screening.
Children aged 14 and under count as concessions and infants aged 3 and under can come for free!
In accordance with Parent and Baby screening guidelines, babies aged one year and under can come to a screening of any film with any classification.

Can I get a refund?

Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds on ticket purchases. You can, however, reallocate your tickets to someone else if you can no longer attend a screening you have bought tickets for.

Are there toilets?

Yes, there are toilets on site at each venue, including facilities for disabled audience members.

Will there be an intermission?

No, the film will run straight through. At most events there will be refreshments on sale throughout the film.

OUTDOOR SCREENINGS

What if it rains?

In the event of wet weather, the screening will still go ahead – our events are a bit like a mini festival so keep this in mind when getting ready – please check the forecast in advance and come dressed accordingly! Remember to bring warm (maybe even waterproof!) clothing and a blanket if you wish, as it does get cool towards the end of a screening. Only in the case of extreme weather, such as dangerously high winds, will the screening be cancelled. Unfortunately we cannot give refunds. You can, however, reallocate your tickets to someone else.

What should I wear?

Bring warm clothes and blankets as it can get very cool towards the end of a screening.

What should I bring?

  • A picnic (or enjoy the quality food and drink available on site)
  • A torch or lantern can be useful
  • Warm clothes and blankets.
  • Blankets and mats to sit on, with plastic underneath in case the ground is damp
  • Chairs are welcome [low ones preferred!] but you may be asked to sit at the side or the back to avoid blocking other people’s view of the screen.
  • Raincoats, windbreakers and ponchos. Note: please do not use umbrellas during the screening as this can block the view of those around you. Thanks!
  • A sense of humour! On very rare occasions there may be power cuts at outdoor venues – bear with us and enjoy the atmosphere…

Is there parking?

Parking is available on site or nearby at most outdoor venues. In some cases, it may be advisable to use public transport. Please see specific venues for details.

Can I bring my own picnic?

At most outdoor venues you are free to bring some of your own food and drink. Alternatively, avoid the hassle and enjoy some of our delicious on-site catering instead, or do a bit of both!  Alcohol is usually permitted but please drink responsibly… Please check specific event details for any special information about food and drink at the event you will be attending. For instance, glass must not be brought on site at any Royal Parks screenings. Please also remember to use the bins provided or take your litter home – thanks.

Is seating provided?

Not usually. You’re welcome to bring your own seats and chairs but please be aware that you may be asked to sit at the side or the back to avoid blocking other people’s view of the screen. At some venues, including the Royal Parks, deckchairs are available to hire. Please see specific venues for details.

Can I bring my dog?

Unfortunately we cannot admit dogs to our screenings, out of consideration for the comfort and enjoyment of all our audience members. We are looking into ways of putting on dog-friendly events in the future, though, because The Nomad loves dogs too, and besides – it would be a lot of fun.

Is smoking permitted?

Smoking is permitted at our outdoor events but please consider those around you and smoke away from the screening area. At some venues, we may ask you to smoke only in specific areas.

INDOOR SCREENINGS

Is there parking?

Parking is not usually available at indoor venues, though on-street parking may be available nearby. For venues located in very busy areas, it may be advisable to use public transport. Please see specific venues for details.

Is seating provided?

Seating is usually provided. At certain venues, where seating is not provided, you may bring your own seats but please be aware that you may be asked to sit at the side or the back to avoid blocking other people’s view of the screen. Please see specific venues for details.

ACCESS

I may need some special assistance at an event. How can I arrange this?

Stewards are always available to assist disabled audience members as required. Please let us know of any requirements you may have in advance, by emailing hello@whereisthenomad.com so we can welcome and assist you to the best of our ability. It is worth noting that our outdoor screenings tend to be on grass and sometimes across park land but our stewards can help you get across any rough ground if necessary.

I am a wheelchair user and will need to park as near to the site as possible. Can you advise on this?

We  do our best to identify places close to our venues where our disable patrons can be dropped off and collected, though parking may not always be possible.  At sites with parking, such as most English Heritage and National Trust properties, wheelchair users can be dropped close to the entrance and their car then be parked by a friend or steward [and vice versa at the end of the night]. Do email hello@whereisthenomad.com so we can arrange things ahead of time.

Where should I position my wheelchair at outdoor screenings?

For our outdoor screenings, audience members often bring folding chairs, so please do position your wheelchair wherever you prefer – best to arrive a little early to find the best spot! What tends to happen naturally is that people on blankets sit towards the front and those with chairs further back.

Are screenings subtitled or audio looped for those with hearing loss?

Apart from foreign films, which are subtitled [except family-friendly animations], unfortunately we cannot offer subtitles on our films, as in our experience this can make the experience somewhat distracting for other audience members.  Having looked into it, we have found that audio loops are unfortunately very expensive and complicated to put in place and as a relatively new business we cannot offer that at this time, though we have certainly not discounted this solution for the future. However, we are working on the possibility of sign-assisted screenings if there is sufficient demand – so please do get in touch hello@whereisthenomad.com if you would be interested in this.

Will there be disabled toilets on site?

At all venues where we bring in toilets we provide a disabled toilet with a ramp.  At venues with existing toilet facilities we check whether these include disabled facilities as a matter of course.

Can I bring my dog?

Guide Dogs and Hearing Dogs are welcome at our events. Get in touch with us at hello@whereisthenomad.com if you are planning on coming to one of our events with your canine assistant!

We’re here to Help!

Was there a particular screening you were interested in? Once you have decided on a screening, drop us an email to hello@whereisthenomad.com and we can answer any further queries you might have relating to that particular event. Please be assured that we always endeavour to put in place practical measures so that we can welcome anyone who wishes to attend one of our events.

  • LynBentley

    No information on how we get the tickets. Also on my flyer it states Seniors £12 but this isn’t shown on your booking page. Your comments will be appreciated.

  • Hello

    Hi Lyn, on each event page there is a BUY TICKETS NOW button which takes you through to our online box office… Hope this helps! 

  • PaigeBurley

    When will you be coming to areas outside of London such as the Midlands and Nottingham?

  • Hello

    Hi Paige, at the moment we’re focused on London and the South East, with a few screenings in the South West and a couple further towards the Midlands. It’s a steady spread! We plan to reach much further afield in 2012 and are always keen to hear from members of the public about any particularly interesting/quirky/beautiful venues or site in their area – please feel free to email us at hello [at] whereisthenomad [dot] com with any suggestions!

  • AS

    Hi! 
    Please could you indicate whether the seating/viewing area for the Hyde Park Lido screenings will be located on the lawn/grass, or on a harder surface like the pathway? 
    We’d like to make a booking but we need this confirmed first.
    Thanks! 
    AS

  • Peter

    Why no showing in the Arundel chichester Goodwood Petworth  Area Portsmouth ? Look at Arundel and West Dean Festival web pages

  • Patty

    Do you hire out your screen/equipment to third parties as we would like to screen a film at our local school?

  • Verity001

    We are bringing a 4 month old baby (to a U rated film). Is she free or we need a ticket for her?

  • Kim Miwoski

    Echoing yesterday’s unanswered post – At what age do kids get charged an admission fee? 

  • Emma Lacey1107

    This concept looks really good, I was very interested in it after reading about it in Company Magazine-  really disappointed that there are no events are up North! London London London! 

  • Hello

    Hi Emma Lacey. We are really keen to move further Northwards as soon as we can. We are quite a new venture, based in London and the South-East for the time being, but with a great desire to expand our reach. We have had a couple of screenings outside of the London, Surrey and Kent areas already though – one in Oxford, one in Stevenage and we will be visiting the South West this summer at Lulworth Castle. We are receiving lots of great ideas from our followers on Twitter and Facebook about great venues further afield and are keen to hear from anyone with a good venue idea, as we are already starting to plan our indoor winter season and 2012… We’d love to hear from you.

  • Hello

    Hi AS – we are getting this information confirmed and will get back to you as soon as we know more.

  • Hello

    Hi Peter – those venues sound great and we will definitely look into exploring them for our 2012 season. At the moment we’re focused on London and the South East, but as we grow, we hope to expand our reach much further afield.

  • Hello

    Hi there Patty, please email us at hello [at] whereisthenomad [dot] com and we will be happy to send you our hire details.

  • Hello

    Hello Verity,
    Children under 3 years old can come along to U screenings for free – all other children need to be ticketed. It is also worth noting that babies under 1 year old can watch any certificate film – these are the guidelines that parent and baby screenings operate under. Hope this helps!

  • Hello

    Hi Kim,Children under 3 years old can come along to U screenings for free – all other children need to be ticketed. Children under 1 year can attend any certificate film – under the guidelines of the parent and baby screenings system. 

  • La_bionda2001ar

    I think £12.50 for an outdoor cinema event is extremely expensive. Shame, because we are used to have some community events at Brockewll  park and in Herne Hill, theat they are very cheap or for free.
    A ticket of £12.50 is what it costs to go to Trocadero venue, whrere there is an “infrastructure” to maintain. You don’t even provide plastic chairs…. 

  • Hello

    Hi there La bionda,
    We’re sorry you find £12.50 expensive. Not all our events are this price – they start from £8. The slightly higher prices are for events which include extra entertainment, such as live music, themed food, performance, set dressing and lighting. You’re right; as a mobile cinema, we do not have the same infrastructure – or local following – as a fixed cinema venue but we do have hire fees and many other logistical complications!  Also bear in mind that 50% of our profits go to charity - http://www.whereisthenomad.com/charity/ - so your money is well spent. 

  • smile

    Hi there, are foreign language films subtitled?  Thanks! 

  • Oscar

    Are you likely to run out of tickets? How many are you selling?

  • Martin

    Whereabouts in Richmond Park are the screenings going to be?  The park in huge and it would be good to know the location and the nearest tube and train stations to the screening location.  Thanks..

  • Hello

    Hello again – we can now confirm that our Hyde Park Lido screenings will be taking place on the lawn. Hope this suits!

  • Hello

    Hi Oscar, which screening are you interested in? Capacities depend on the specific event and venue…

  • Hello

    Hello! Very good question [probably one for our ever-increasing FAQ section]

    The answer is: yes, foreign features are subtitles EXCEPT where these are animations, for the sake of inclusion for those too young to read! This currently applies to Spirited Away at Bushy Park only.

  • Hello

    Hello Martin,

    The screenings will be nearest to the Roehampton Gate entrance. More details will up on the relevant event pages soon…

  • Liz

    Hi
    Can you bring your own picnic etc to Kensington Gardens on the 15th July? I noticed that not all of the venues permit it but I can’t find any info on The Truman Show page to suggest that we can or not.
    Thank you

  • Hello

    Hi Liz,

    Fine to bring picnics to Ken Gdns – but please don’t bring glass bottles or glasses. Thanks and see you there!

  • Kate

    Any chance pets can come to the outdoor screenings?  Are there any pet restrictions for the Hampton Court films?  We have older dogs that we can’t leave for very long, and with the cost of a dogsitter, the price of attending doubles if we can’t bring the ole pooches along…

  • Mandy

    Hi

    Would it be possible to bring a dog with us. Perhaps pay an entrance fee. They are allowed in all Royal Parks off the lead so if on the lead and behaving well can dogs come as well, please please please?
    thank you
    Mandy

  • Hello

    Hi Kate,

    The Nomad loves dogs too! But I’m afraid that at the moment we cannot admit dogs to our screenings, out of consideration for the comfort and enjoyment of all our audience members. We are looking in to ways of putting on dog-friendly events in the future, though. We hope you can still make it to one of our events.

  • Hello

    Hi Mandy,

    As we responded to Kate’s similar query below, I’m afraid that at the moment we cannot admit dogs to our screenings, out of consideration for the comfort and enjoyment of all our audience members. We are looking in to ways of putting on dog-friendly events in the future, though, because we love dogs too, and besides, it would be a lot of fun. We’re actually dying to put on a screening of Turner and Hooch exclusively for dog owners! We’ll keep you posted on that one… We do hope that in the meantime, hope you can still make it to one of our events.

  • Kris

    Hiya, just wanted to find out whether I have to buy tickets online or can I just turn up at the venue and buy tickets there? Thanks

  • Hello

    Hi Kris,

    As our events have very limited capacities, we recommend that you buy your tickets well in advance. We are sometimes able to have a few spares on the door, but this is not guaranteed at every venue and events are already selling out. Hope this helps.

  • Hello

    On the subject of dogs, we would just like to specify that Guide Dogs or Hearing Dogs are of course welcome at our events. Get in touch with us at access [a] whereisthenomad [dot] com if you are planning on coming to one of our events with your canine assistant!

  • Oscar

    Labyrinth at Battersea Park

  • Hello

    Hi Oscar, Labyrinth is actually nearly sold out – we expect it to sell out completely within the next week or so. I suggest you book tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

  • Mike

    Hi can you buy a nomad? 

  • kate

    Hi Mike – do you mean hire? see the HIRING section above.

  • Lisa

    What are the seating arrangements at York Hall?

  • kate

    Hi Lisa,
    At York Hall we have seats on site, some of which are around tables… Hope to see you there! Remember to arrive early to enjoy the pre-film extras…

  • Donna

    I have been to a few screening in reigate park and the royal aleander and albert school grounds as they are very local to me. Now you are in partnership are you no longer going to visit these smaller venues?

  • Anonymous

    We are immune to bribery Mike.

  • Anonymous

    Hi Lisa,

    Chairs will be in place – on the ground floor around tables and in the galleries, fixed in rows.

  • Anonymous

    Hi Donna,

    We won’t be at those venues this year, but we are popping up in Gatton Park in Reigate, if you’d like to join us for that.

  • Mads

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to book 3 x student tickets for the showing this Friday but can’t find the concessions option…  On your flyer at the Lambeth Country Show, it had two ticket prices – £10 something and £12 something – is it still possible to get the cheaper?

    Thanks

  • Hello

    Hi there Mads,

    I’m afraid there is just one ticket price for Brockwell Lido this Friday. I should also warn you that tickets for this event are now close to selling out so you should act fast…

  • Hema

    Hi, is Ghost not playing on the 23rd July anymore in Reigate?

  • Mags

    will all gates in dulwich park remain open till after the screening. I need to arrange for pick-up after the film and the court lane entrance would be most useful.

  • Anonymous

    Hi there,
    The exit will be through College Rd Gate, opposite the Dulwich Picture
    Gallery.

    Thanks,

    Is there parking at Hampton Court and if so is there a cost? Also are you allowed to bring glass bottles?Thanks

  • Hello

    Hi Helen – looking in to this for you and will respond ASAP

  • Tasha

    What time will the screenings end? As I would be using public transport to get home. 

  • Hello

    Hi Tasha. We always aim to schedule films that finish in good time before the last train so you can all get home without too much trouble!

  • Rosie

    Hi, I really want to go to king’s speech but just wondering if the time will finish in time for the last train back to vauxhall (at 23:05)? Thank you so much if you can help!

  • Alan C.

    Hi. Bushy Park usually locks its gates to cars at around dusk.
    Will they be locking the gates during the July 28 screening of ‘theBirds’?
    In which case, should all cars be parked outside of the Park?

    Thanks. ………….. Alan.

  • Contactroses

    Hi, do you have a telephone number i can call to buy tickets? I have tried several times to buy tickets and each time an error message comes up. Help! Thanks Rosie

  • Alan C.

    No – Sorry.  They just seem to have an online identity. Tickets are issued via ‘wegottickets.com’ – again, just an online service.

  • Hello

    Hi Alan. The park closes as usual but Nomad audience members can park at the pheasantry car park [limited spaces] and we will open the gates for both those on foot and those driving at the end of the film. Thanks

  • Hello

    Hi Rosie – we’ve passed your issue on to our ticketing department to see if they can help. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

  • PETER T

    Is there anyway of getting a ticket or requesting one, when an event has sold out? I am hugely interested in the Brompton Cemetry screening and it’s the only one sold out!!!

    Hugely grateful and willing to pay extra!!!

  • Donks

    Hi, I’m worried the outdoor screening of The Birds on July 28 might go on too late to catch a train home. Do you have any advice for transport from Bushy Park this late? And also, do you know approximately what time the showing will finish?

  • Hello

    Hi there,
    The screening will be over by about 11.30. We unfortunately do not have detailed travel info for all the sites we visit but having checked on tfl.gov.uk, it seems that there will, at the very least, be buses running nearby. We advise that audience members using public transport journey TFL’s Journey Planner and National Rail Enquiries to plan their journey before booking for our events.

  • guest

    Hello
    can you bring dogs to the outdoor screenings?

  • Laura

    Hi,

    Will there be parking at Hampton Court Palace on Friday?

    Thanks!

  • kate

    Unfortunately not. This is out of consideration for all members of the audience.

  • kate

    Laura, we are just double-checking this for you and will respond as soon as possible.

  • Kasiawilde

    how about Crystal Palace Park, ?

  • Hello

    Hi Peter. We are now totally sold out and we are being inundated with pleas for extra tickets but unfortunately due to the especially fragile nature of Brompton Cemetery we have extremely strict capacity. You can try your luck on the night as we sometimes get returns. We do hope to programme the film somewhere else in the winter season and screen more films at the cemetery as soon as we can.

  • Hello

    Sorry, no! This is out of respect for all our audience members, some of whom may be afraid of dogs or  disturbed by them during the film. We love dogs too and in the future we hope to do dog-friendly screenings.

  • Hello

    Yes there will be ample parking at Hampton Court! See you there!

  • Hello

    Right now we don’t have any screenings scheduled for Crystal Palace. Did you mean Greenwich?

  • Topsygirl81

    Hello

    I bought tickets for a friend for their birthday and I requested straight away that they be reallocated but my friend even thought their email was typed correctly they haven’t received an email stating the details.  What should I do?

    regards,

    Bex (very confused and unsure what to do!)

  • Hello

    Hi Bex,

    Your friend’s name should be on our list at the door but if for some reason it’s not, the tickets will be under your name.

    Don’t worry!

  • Clare_m_twelvetrees

    Are any tickets available for the film at hyde park tonight on the door?

  • Sarah_baker

    Hi I’ve just bought some tickets for Breakfast at T iffanys at Hampton court tonight as a gift, but it is not letting me reallocate them to my daughter name. What should I do as I am not attending with them. They are all over 18 .
    Thanks

  • Alice

    Hi, just wondering if I can bring a bottle of champagne to the Hampton Court Palace screening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s tonight? Not sure if I can bring glass bottles to a royal park?!

  • Hello

    Yes – a few!

  • Hello

    Hi there,
    They can just state your name at the door and that will be fine.
    Thanks!

  • Hello

    Yes of course. HCP isn’t actually a Royal Park [it's a Historic Royal Palace, dontcha know!] and champagne is fine. Hope you have fun!

  • Andy

    Will there be any tickets for Black Cat, White Cat available on the door this evening?

  • Sharonvickery

    Hi me and my family are going to see thr rocky horror show, the doors open at 6pm and the movie starts at 8.45pm what time do you think it would be best to get there by?

  • Lukas

    Had a good time watching Breakfast at Tiffanys at Hampton Court on Saturday. However was very disappointed to be forced to leave the screening early or miss the last train home. Opted for the latter and took 2 stressful  hours to get home instead of 20 mins. Shame.

  • Topsygirl81

    The only thing is I am not going they are talking another friend not me as I can’t make it and the email confirmation stated this:

    The NAMED TICKET HOLDER must give their name and this reference and may be asked to confirm their postcode.

    The NAMED TICKET HOLDER must bring photographic or signature ID.

    Only the NAMED TICKET HOLDER and the appropriate number of people accompanying them will be admitted to the event.

    So as you can see I dont’ want them to go and not get in and especially as I have paid for them too.

    Kind regards,

    Bex 

  • Luc

    Just tried to book tickets but I got through to the security section and there was a problem with the site, I’m not sure if I have paid or not. And if I have then I don’t want to pay again. Is there a way you can check if the payment’s gone through? 

  • Jeff

    Hello there ,

    I’m looking to book for Pride & Prejudice at Danson house on 25th Aug , it’s for a special birthday and I’d like to bring a couple of directors chairs with a small table so that I can put a few candles on to add a bit of atmosphere.

    Would this be ok to do ?

  • Hello

    Hi Jeff,

    This is fine – how romantic! – please just be sensitive to those around you and perhaps sit to the side or twds the back.

    Why has Raiders of the Lost Ark at Richmond Park on 31st August been removed from the What’s On list?  Has it been cancelled?  Thanks.

  • The Nomad

    Hi Martin.

    The event hasn’t been cancelled, but we may have to reschedule – we should be in a position to advise tomorrow.  In the meantime, we thought we should take the event off sale until we can confirm, one way or the other.  Sorry for any inconvenience until then.

    Does anyone have two tickets to inception tonight and can’t go? I would be more than happy to buy them off of you!! Otherwise, is there a way I can get them at the door if I go at 7pm or earlier or would I have to wait until 9pm to see if people don’t show up? 

  • Edward

    Is there parking available at Greenwich Park tonight as the gates usually close at 9?

  • Hello

    Sorry for late response – bus weekend for us! Did you try your luck on the door? This was such a popular one, we will no doubt be rescheduling it sooner rather than later…

    I attended my first Nomad Event Screening on Sunday night and I was soooo disappointed – No alcohol for sale, hot food ran out, no blankets for sale, was sold a burst wonga wedge, toilets were locked, film started late, so had to leave early so i could catch my last train and then the gates were locked in the park – so couldnt get out! It was a nightmare after being so excited and having such high hopes…. :(

  • The Nomad

    Hi Jo, 

    Gutted that you were disappointed.  We’re going to contact you directly to sort this out.

    Hi Nomad!

    Ver much looking forward to the Rocky Horror Picture Show screening on the 12th August – got my stockings and suspenders all ready! Disappointed to see that there were not more screenings of films in general at Lulworth (or other venues close to Poole / Bournemouth) – do you think you’ll be scheduling more for the future in our area? Thanks!

  • The Nomad

    Hi Alice!

    We’re looking forward to seeing you in your Rocky Horror glory on Friday. At the moment we are working on our upcoming schedule so it’s good to know you’re keen on more Nomad action at Lulworth Castle and in the surrounding area. We’ll bear it in mind.

    The Nomad.

    Hello

    I have 2 tickets for ET in Richmond Park on 01 September but the location has changed to Bushey Park. This is no longer convenient so I would like a refund please.  Can you tell me if this is possible?  I know this isnt your usual policy but surely these circumstances are an exception?

    Thanks

    thanks glenn

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Glenn, 

    Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside our control, we have had to postpone our screenings at Richmond Park. We are currently finding an alternative venue for The African Queen, and as soon as we do, it’ll be up on the website. Sorry to disappoint you, but keep your eyes out for further news.

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi John, 

    If you order tickets online through We Got Tickets, you will receive an email confirmation that acts as your tickets. It usually comes through just after you order them. If you’ve not received yours, email hello[at]whereisthenomad.com and we’ll check your booking for you!

    Thanks, 

    The Nomad Cinema.

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hello Sarah, 

    You may have received an email from us by now explaining that you can exchange your tickets for another screening or receive a full refund. Please get in touch at hello[at]whereisthenomad.com and we will give you a hand!

    Thanks, 

    The Nomad Cinema.

  • Sarah

    Thank you very much :-)

  • James Ayres

    What is the usual screening format, particularly for The Lost Boys @ St. Augustine’s Abbey? Last time I saw a film there it was from DVD which didn’t really seem to justify the ticket price.

  • James

    Hi,

    With the screenings at Holland Park, are their actual seats, or is still still a case that one would need to bring blankets/picnics etc?

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

  • Paul K Orourke

    Why would anyone want to take a dog to watch a film? How inconsiderate.

  • Hello

    Hi James, at Holland Park, the screenings take place in the Alfresco Opera House under a canopy with allocated seating – you may still wish to bring layers/blankets if you tend to get chilly as it is still open on the sides…

    http://www.operahollandpark.com/
    Drinks and snacks are available on site and picnic tables can be rented if you’d like to bring a picnic [unfortunately there is no grass to picnic on within the site, but you're of course free to have your picnic outside the site anywhere in the park beforehand]

  • Hello

    Hi James. We play Blu-ray on a professional player using state-of-the-art digital projectors on a large inflatable screen, with a high quality sound system specified for outdoor use. Obviously the special venues and the festival atmosphere are a large part of the experience too, and depending on the venue and ticket price we also include live music, themed food and other fun extras. Our ticket prices are actually pretty reasonable in comparison with some other pop-up and open-air cinemas operating at the moment!

  • Martin

    For Raiders of the Lost Ark in Bushey Park, which entrance should you use and where in the park is the screening going to be held?  Thanks.

  • Martin

    I agree that I would be uncomfortable with dogs at a screening – I love them, but like babies they don’t belong at a film show.  There are some inconsiderate people around and although your dog may be well behaved some clueless person else may bring a yappy, whiny dog that ruins the show for everyone.  Therefore I 100% support Nomad’s decision to ban all dogs. 

  • Hanan

    Hi, I’m a student and I was just wondering if you take on any volunteers to help out at screenings or would ever consider doing so?

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Martin,

    Glad you’ll be joining us for Raiders. The screening will be held close to the Pheasantry, so the closest gate is Teddington Gate on Sandy Lane. There will be limited parking available if you plan to drive.

    See you there!

    The Nomad.

  • Hello

    Hi there Hanan – thanks for your interest. Yes, we do work with volunteers and are currently running our summer internship programme. If you could email your CV and a few words about why you’d like to get on board the Nomad roaming cinema to hello [at] whereisthenomad [dot] com, we’ll get back to you about opportunites for Autumn/Winter soon. All the best!

  • Lorna

    Hi, I came to last night’s screening of the Goonies – congrats it was fab! 

    I’m coming to see Labyrinth on Wednesday and I know there is parking available at Battersea, but will the gates be open at the end of the night to drive out?  Thanks

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Lorna,
    You will be able to park near to Chelsea or Albert gate as these two will remain open at the end of the night.

    See you later,

    The Nomad.

  • Tania

    Hi there,
    I am coming to Labyrinth this evening, which is the best gate to come in through?
    Thanks

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Tania,
    Our screening is located close to the Bandstand area so the closest gate to our site is Albert Gate. However, Rosery Gate is closest to Battersea Park train station and is about a ten minute walk from the Bandstand.
    At the end of the screening, Albert and Chelsea gates will be open.

    See you tonight!

    The Nomad.

  • louise

    Hi, I’m coming to Labyrinth tonight and bought 2 tickets in 2 seperate transactions (one for me and one for my boyfriend). They both have my name on them. We’ll be arriving together – will he be able to use the ticket?
    Thanks

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Louise, 

    It’s no problem – just explain to the box office staff when you arrive.

    See you later, 

    The Nomad.

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Rhy, 

    We always recommend booking online in advance so you won’t be disappointed. However, on Saturday, if you get there when doors open you should be fine to get tickets on the door.

    enjoy the screening!

    Hope this helps and we’re looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

    Hi, I attended my first event on Thursday night to watch Pride & Prejudice at Danson House and just wanted to say thank you for a great night.

So thanks again and won’t be our last.

  • Rjhoadley13

    I have accidently deleted my email ticket confirmation without printing out the ticket for Napoleon Dynamite in Queens Park this Saturday 3rd Sep. Can you please resend the email.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Gregor

    I’ll answer my own question:

    Just been to ET in Bushy Park, was worried about parking inside as the park closes to traffic at dusk. The Nomad team had ushers on the gates to let us out at the end of the performance (also told me we could get out if we needed to leave early). I’m assuming this will be the same for other parks?

    Also – it was a warm sunny day today, but it got REALLY cold by 10.30. Take a duvet.

  • Anna

    Hello, very excited about Napolean Dynamite! Do Lexi members get a discount?

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hi Anna!

    We are excited too! Yes, Lexi Members can claim a £2 cash-back on the door  – maybe it can be put towards a yummy margarita at the Lexi Bar?!

    See you tomorrow.

    Team Nomad

  • The Nomad Cinema

     Hello Gregor,

    Sorry we didn’t catch your question in time – last night was a busy one for us Nomads. We have ushers on gates wherever necessary and car parks specifically for our screenings are always kept open until the end of the screening. It’s always best to check, though, and we are usually much quicker at getting back!

    Hope you enjoyed E.T. as much as we did!

    Team Nomad.

  • The Nomad Cinema

    Hello Napoleon-lover,

    Best thing to do is log in to your We Got Tickets account where you can select the option to re-send your confirmation e-mail.

    Pedro offers your his protection,

    Hi Krysia,

    Sorry we didn’t see this in time – hope you made it OK!

    Dear Sir/Madam
    We bought three tickets to watch E.T. held at Reigate Gatton Park on Wed 24th Aug,2011, but when we went there, nothing was happening!! So All of us couldn’t watch E.T. just wasted money and our efforts to go to the site.  I have still a confirmation ticket which I can prove that I bought three tickets. I need explanation from you and refund.  Noriko   Booking reference:t07312046323121b1

  • Nikki – Nomad

    Hi Jayme

    Some Like It Hot is indeed being screened at Fulham Palace (near Putney).
    So far there will be about 300 people joining you to watch Ms Monroe beneath the stars. There will almost definitely be more than that by the time the film starts.

    See you then!

  • Matt

    Several members of my party are arriving at a different time to me. Will we be able to enter the venue at different times?

  • Annabelt

    We are seeing Back to the Future tonight at Greenwich ROG, however my email from ‘wegottickets’ says screening at 7pm whereas your website says 8pm! Which is it??!

  • Spiffity

    According to Londonist, “every visitor to Whiteleys Shopping Centre who spends £10 or more per person at any one of the various restaurants including Le Café Anglais, Yo! Sushi and Café Rouge, will be given free entry to the cinema.”

    How does this work? Your FAQ says no refunds on tickets. It is likely that shows will sell out if one does not buy tickets in advance. Therefore it’s not worth leaving it to chance and waiting until the night to go out to eat there and then be turned away at the cinema — and that’s not really a special offer unless entrance to the film is included.

    What you should have (and may have if you can clarify) is a referral scheme in place with the restaurants where if a person shows their ticket, the restaurant provides a discount on the meal.

  • Saff

    Hi, We are dying to attend one of your screenings at Whiteleys (in Bruges) but you make it difficult to buy tickets! We’ve come by twice and doors only open at 7pm, once there was even a person inside who wouldn’t let us in early to buy 4 tick! Considering online booking fee is 2.40 and we’re in the area and able to come down in person, it’s a shame your doors are not open more frequently. also there is no phone number listed (anywhere) to check availability, as it seems we won’t be able to get early ticks. 

  • Main

    What kind of digital projectors are you using and are you able to create 5.1 surround or at least 3 tracks (LCR) Thanks!

  • Anita Mistry

    I was just trying to sign up to your newsletter, but it keeps telling me it’s failed. I’m definitely typing in the email address correctly…

  • Clairelawless

    How many people tend to attend each viewing? Do you hold any in Manchester? or will you do so in future?

  • Anonymous

    Hi there, we have audiences from 200 to 1000, very much depends on the venue and the quality of the marketing and appeal of the film. We do not currently have any screenings in Manchester and would need to work with good local partners as we know London , but not Manchester. Manchester would strike us as being a great city to work in, but local partners would be the key to making things work.

    As you can imagine, our commercial arrangements are confidential. What we can say is that Brompton Cemetery has now sold out.
