There is no longer a screen at the Royal. Feature films haven’t been sceened there since the early 1980’s, under a covenant made with Famous Players when the theatre reverted back to live performances only.

Architects were W. Roquefort and E. Sankey. The first movie showing was in 1917.
Also home to Victoria Dance Series, and various other live attractions.
