Regal Cinema

The Regal Cinema sits in Henley-on-Thames, a proper old-school picture house that feels like stepping back in time. It's the kind of place where you still get actual velvet seats and staff who know the difference between a real cinema and a multiplex shed. The building itself has that faded grandeur of mid-20th century entertainment - the sort of venue where locals have been catching films for decades.

This is cinema for people who actually care about watching films rather than just consuming content in the dark. Single screens, proper projection, none of the corporate sprawl. It's intimate without being cramped, and there's something genuinely special about watching a film somewhere that has actual character.

You'll need to check their website for current opening hours and what's on - they programme a mix of mainstream releases and more interesting independent fare depending on the week. It's worth ringing ahead to confirm times and ticket prices.

If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Swiss Farm is barely ten minutes away, and the same goes for Henley Four Oaks or Embers Camping - this makes for a proper evening out without needing to trek to a multiplex forty minutes away. Henley itself is a cracking riverside town with restaurants and pubs within walking distance, so you could easily make an evening of it. Not essential to a park holiday, but genuinely worth knowing about if you fancy something on an evening when the weather turns.
