The building opened on 26 December 1962 as a theatre, and the sloping floor of that design remains. It now has two screens, with 300 seats downstairs and 104 upstairs.

Local tip

Check the schedule for sing-along screenings and marathons, which are popular, and consider membership for cheap member screenings. Most days show several different films.
