The Tudor Cinema

Noel Spence, and his twin brother Roy, have celluloid in their veins, having been avid filmgoers from childhood. After acquiring a cheap plastic camera in their youth, they graduated to fully-fledged filmmaking. By the 1970’s they were earning a reputation for making extremely competent productions on 8mm and 16mm; indeed, many of their nearly 100 films have won top awards. Ardent followers of 1950’s horror and sci-fi films, many of their productions have been based in that era.

In August 1974 Noel took his hobby a step further by converting an old shed alongside his house into the Tudor Cinema, named in appreciation of the cinema he used to frequent in nearby Bangor. Running his own cinema allowed him to fully indulge his passion for the technicalities of projection and showmanship. Despite the clatter of a film projector being replaced by the silence of a digital system the Tudor Cinema, with its ‘traditional’ ambiance, tip-up seating and elaborate plasterwork, still provides an increasingly elusive ‘night out at the pictures’.

The Tudor Cinema, which is available for private hire, is also home to many original items rescued from cinemas as they closed down
