Celebrating 10 Years of Our Showroom and 29 Years of Bespoke Home Cinemas: Stepping into Our 30th Year of Excellence:
Today, we proudly celebrate two significant milestones at Bespoke Home Cinemas, a decade since we opened our showroom and 29 years since we began our journey in 1995. As we reflect on nearly three decades of innovation, expertise, and dedication to excellence, we are immensely grateful to our clients, partners, and team members who have been integral to our growth and success. This past year has been filled with outstanding achievements, including exciting projects, industry recognition, and new partnerships, and we look forward to celebrating 30 years in 2025.
New Partnerships and Exceptional Projects Across the UK
This year, we welcomed the esteemed brand Bowers & Wilkins to our portfolio, joining the likes of Meridian Audio, Artcoustic, Trinnov, madVR, Kaleidescape, and Sony. These partnerships enable us to continue delivering top tier audio visual experiences and set new standards in home cinema design and performance.
From our base in Leeds, this year we have had the pleasure of working on inspiring projects across the UK. Our recent work has taken us to:
Anglesey, Biddenham, Castleford, Devon, Doncaster, Harrogate, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Northallerton, Sheffield, Stoke on Trent, Wakefield, Wellingborough, and Weybridge.
Creating Unique Cinema Experiences
Each of these locations has allowed us to create unique cinematic spaces tailored to the individual needs and dreams of our clients. One highlight was transforming an unused triple garage into a luxurious six seater cinema, complete with Meridian Audio, Trinnov, madVR, Kaleidescape, and a Sony 4K projector. Our team managed every part of the project, ensuring that each stage from concept to completion was handled with care and expertise. Projects like this showcase our commitment to delivering high performance, intimate cinema experiences.
Highlight Project: Falcon Farmhouse Cinema at The Tawny Hotel Estate
This year, we designed and installed a bespoke cinema room for The Falcon Farmhouse at The Tawny Hotel estate, creating a luxurious space for guests featuring cutting edge technology and Bowers & Wilkins speakers for an immersive audio visual experience. The Tawny Hotel has also recently won Boutique Hotel of the Year, further solidifying its reputation as one of the most sought after luxury destinations in the UK.
National Recognition and Community Impact
Our work this year has been celebrated in leading publications and showcased as case studies, including The Times, TechRadar, Home Cinema Choice Magazine, Home Cinema Alliance, Connect AWE, Essential Install, and DBM News. We were honoured to be featured in the final print edition of Home Cinema Choice Magazine in their “Dream Theatre” section, and we were delighted to win the “Best Media Room Over £50k” award at the Smart Building Awards. Additionally, we have recently been accredited as an Artcoustic Premium Partner. These recognitions highlight our commitment to excellence in home cinema design and installation.
