This month, the High Street venue is celebrating five years since it opened in the old Byron building.
And it has quickly become far more than just a place to watch movies.
The venue has frequently staged memorable fan events leading up to the biggest releases, from James Bond, to Jurassic Park to Ghostbusters.
And if they can’t get the human stars in, they’ll often get the stars on four wheels, two wings or even go prehistoric.
So as the Arc Cinema celebrates five years in Hucknall, we’ve delved into the archives to find some great photos of memorable events and moments from the last five years.
How many of these do you remember?
