An enterprising businessman from Gloucestershire has developed a special cinema, inside a caravan.
Former estate agent Robin King, aged 49, has established a cinema system inside a five-berth mobile home, caravan insurance policyholders may be interested to read.
Mr King has collected 1,500 films to watch in the caravan and has salvaged two seats form a local cinema, the Times reports.
Avid caravan insurance policyholders can pay £50 for a private viewing in the mobile home, with Mr King showing some clips in their entirety and many others in half-hour slots.
Most of the films were made between 1935 and 1965.
Mr King, who runs a touring and nursing care home business, commented: "If an older person, after the show, says 'thank you for that, it's brought back some memories', it's wonderful. You can't beat that."
He told ThisisGloucestershire.co.uk that people are given the opportunity to take in a film without the rustling of crisp packets.
He added that prices can be cheaper than visiting a conventional cinema unless it's a council-run initiative, with £50 being the maximum charge. Sometimes the businessman will offer special rates or even provide viewings for free.
Earlier this year a number of performances were staged in a mobile home as part of the play Caravan by the Look Left Look Right theatre.
