Pure Theatre

What Pure Theatre does

Pure Theatre is a UK-based specialist in the design, manufacture, and installation of concealed home cinema systems, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Telford, Shropshire. The company operates from an 8,000 sq.ft facility combining a showroom with four demo areas and an on-site factory where it manufactures its own ceiling recessed projector lifts (CR25–CR90 plus custom variants), motorised projector screens in 16:9, 21:9, and 2.4:1 anamorphic formats, acoustically transparent fixed-frame screens, ALR screens for ultra-short throw projectors, and precision-engineered 19-inch AV rack mount shelves. Around this proprietary core, Pure Theatre curates and distributes third-party AV equipment from BenQ, Epson, Sony, JVC, Optoma, Hisense, Monitor Audio, JBL, Arcam, Yamaha, Marantz, REL Acoustics, Kaleidescape, and others, bundling them into tiered complete systems (Bronze from £4K, Silver £10K–£15K, Gold £20K–£70K, Platinum £27K+) as well as projector/screen, sound, and multiroom packages.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of complete packages and individual components, complemented by professional services including a £600 bespoke design service (fee rebated against package orders), Dirac Live room calibration (£500–£600), home cinema configuration (£791–£950), and installation on a quote basis. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce with regional storefronts (UK, EU, US), an on-site showroom for live demonstrations, a dealer/installer network, and active exhibition presence at UK home improvement trade shows. The customer base is residential and long-tailed — 1,000+ completed projects over the company's history with a 5.0 customer rating — served by a small team of 1–10 employees. Pure Theatre holds no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates as an independent private business with recent industry recognition including the iBuild Awards 2024 and BUILD Magazine Design & Build Awards 2026.
