Leiston Film Theatre, or Leiston Picture House as it was originally named, opened in October 1914 and has traded continuously for 110 years. Following a decline in cinema attendances in the 1970’s, the venue was saved from closure in 1976 by Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Council, who have invested in updating the building to meet the expectations of today’s cinema audiences. Despite being Suffolk’s oldest surviving purpose built cinema, this versatile venue boasts a comfortable 252 seat auditorium, with a choice of standard, or premier seating and features Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround EX sound and the latest in digital projection.
The Film Theatre includes a Visitors Information Point where your welcome to drop in (during opening hours) to find out more about Leiston and the surrounding area or browse online at Visit Leiston
