Films worth leaving the house for.

Great films, sea air, a proper bar. One screen, deep red seats, and the new releases worth seeing in a proper picture house by the sea.

    A restored classic on the big screen every Sunday afternoon, the way it was meant to be seen.

  • Silver Screen

    A Thursday matinee for the over-sixties, with a cup of tea and a biscuit on the house.

  • Reel Kids

    Saturday-morning films for families, with tickets at a pound and a squash at the bar.

  • Director Q&As

    Once a month we screen something special and get someone interesting up to talk about it.

  • Music on Film

    Gig films, live scores and the odd singalong, usually with the bar running late.

The place

One screen, done properly

A restored 1930s picture house a few streets back from the harbour. One screen, deep red seats, and a bar that stays open after the credits. We show the new releases worth seeing and the old ones worth revisiting.

The bar is open before and after every film, the ice creams are local, and the popcorn is made in the foyer. Come early, stay late.
