Regal Group has formed over the last six years, and primarily works to preserve, restore and understand period lighting and cinema projection technology. Many of the items in the collection have been saved from endangered venues or donated/purchased from working cinemas and theatres. We try to restore this equipment to its original design and appearance, with a view to re-housing it in working entertainment establishments, to be used and given a new lease of life.

All of our working period equipment is available for hire and can be used with the groups resources, archive and expertise to recreate any period of entertainment technology in theatre/cinema for film and television use e.g. followspots on a theatre circle or cinema projectors for projection room interiors.

 The following pictures show the restoration some of our limelight and carbon arc mechanisms
