Cosy Nights & Big Screens: Unique Cinema Experience, Shrewsbury, Couples Staying at the Cabin
When you’re staying at Black Rhadley Cabin, it’s easy to sink into the rhythm of woodland walks, crackling fires, and peaceful evenings under the stars. But if you’re in the mood for a little date night during your romantic Shropshire cabin getaway, how about something a little different?
Just 40 minutes away, the town of Shrewsbury offers a hidden gem for film-lovers and couples looking for a special night out a trip to the Old Market Hall Cinema.
A Cinema with Character (and Cocktails)
Forget noisy multiplexes — the Old Market Hall Cinema is a beautifully restored, intimate venue tucked inside a striking 16th-century building right in the heart of Shrewsbury’s historic square. It’s cosy, atmospheric, and perfect for couples wanting a quieter, more personal cinema experience.
The venue shows a thoughtful mix of independent films, documentaries, cult classics and the occasional big-screen favourite — so whether you’re into beautiful cinematography, quirky comedies or powerful stories, there’s usually something worth seeing.
There’s also a lovely little café bar, which serves drinks, nibbles, and even cocktails if you fancy making your evening feel like more of an occasion. Grab a G&T or a glass of red, settle into one of the plush seats, and enjoy a relaxed night out that still feels in keeping with the peaceful tone of your Shropshire break.
Make a Day (or Evening) of It
Shrewsbury is a fantastic town to explore, with timber-framed buildings, winding lanes, and independent shops galore — so if you’re visiting for the cinema, it’s well worth spending a bit of extra time pottering about. Arrive early for a bite to eat at one of the riverside restaurants, enjoy a gentle walk along the Severn, or browse one of the town’s many bookshops and vintage spots before your film starts.
For couples on a weekend break in Shropshire, it’s the perfect way to blend a little town energy into your otherwise nature-rich retreat.
Back to the Cabin, Back to Calm
After your film, you’ll return to the woods — the stars, the stillness, and your own peaceful sanctuary. That’s what we love about staying here: the mix of everything. One day it’s owls and open skies, the next it’s cinema and cocktails in a historic town.
