Unique art deco theatre

Step into the opulent black and gold interior of this cinema and sit back and relax on plush velvet cushioned seats. Guests can admire some of Hollywood’s most iconic movie characters, heroes and villains which have been hand-painted onto the walls of this cinema, creating a venue with genuine ‘wow’ factor.

Each tiered seat is fitted with its own fold-away tray table, giving you the option of serving food and drinks, or allowing guests to take notes and set up laptops during a presentation. We can even help you set up a popcorn stand!

The wide central aisle provides easy access, while the modern audio-visual system and commercial laser projector allows you to screen whatever digital content or movie you choose. This venue is fully accessible and is a fun and memorable place to host a special event.
