As Seth says, this is a remarkable small town cinema, run with much loving care by a team of dedicated volunteers.

I was fortunate to visit Southwold on a number of occasions before the work began and during the cinema’s construction. Seeing the original cart shed it’s hard imagine how it could be transformed into such a splendid cinema. In May 2002, only a short while after the cinema opened, I was privileged to arrange a visit by The Cinema Theatre Association, so members could inspect this amazing cinema.
