A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A film night under medieval beams
Dartington’s independent cinema pairs a characterful converted barn with a varied film programme, from new releases and documentaries to performance screenings.
The Barn makes the setting part of a cinema visit. Rows of red seats sit beneath a timber roof in a building with a long theatrical history, now home to an independent film programme. Choose a film or a screened stage performance, then make an evening of the Hall estate. The architecture gives even a straightforward trip to the pictures a little extra occasion.
