the window in the middle of the ceiling in the main room of the Glasite Meeting House, this was above us all during our pop-up cinema screening. Apologies for not being best pic, I couldn't centre it, this was as close as I could manage due to the layout of the pews, just had to stretch over end of a pew and balance camera looking straight up and hope I got something useable.
Pop-up screening area complete with bar inside a large inflatable dome. #EvolutionDome #Promo #InflatableDome #TemporaryStructure #ScreeningRoom #PopUpCinema #PopUpBar #TradeShows #TemporaryVenue
The 19th Century Glasite Meeting Hall, formerly meeting place for a small Scottish Christian sect, completed in 1835, by architect Alexander Black, it is fairly modest on the outside (by design, I don't think the worshippers wanted it too fancy and distracting) but but nicer and warmer inside. In recent years the Glasite Trust has kindly donated the A-listed historic building on the edge of Edinburgh's New Town to the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust.
The SHBT is in the process of continuing to restore the building and part of this is ensuring it has regular use, especially for community purposes as it is located in a busy residential area of the city centre. One of the things they have started recently is a pop-up community cinema, with a mix of films suitable for kids and adults at different times and days, for only five quid. I heard about it starting the other month and have been meaning to go along, then friend arranged to take his two young boys along during the school holidays to see an afternoon screening of Where the Wild Things Are, so off we went. Very reasonably priced refreshments spot upstairs also had a wee play area and toys for the kids, which was a nice touch, staff were lovely and friendly.
Seating is in the original pews from the days as a religious meeting hall, but they have thoughtfully added cushions to soften it for our modern bottoms (obviously Victorians had tougher bums). They have more films during days for kids and evenings for adults and are looking for more uses that the building can be put to (community and of course they are open to businesses wanting to use it for presentations, meetings etc too). It's a terrific little potential resource and good to see a building not preserved as static museum but as a part of the local community, so I hope more folks in that part of town make use of it.

Simulated bonfire in the foyer. Banksy's film "Exit through the gift shop" was showing in this cinema.
