About

Cinema City occupies Suckling House, the 16th-century home of Robert Suckling, Mayor, Sheriff and Burgess. The oldest surviving parts of the building date from the early 14th century. After falling into disrepair Suckling House was bought by Ethel Mary and Helen Caroline Colman in 1923. They restored it and added Stuart Hall, intended as a public space and equipped with a cinema projector and screen. The Cinema City Bar & Restaurant is situated within the beautiful 17th-century Suckling House, featuring vaulted ceilings, stone arches and antique panelled rooms. They also encompass the Sir John Hurt Centre function rooms, which are full of reminders of the city’s rich cinema history.

What people say

3 out of 5 stars

“The theater was clean and the seats were in good condition. I liked that there was enough space between the rows and the screen was easy to see from our seats. The movie also started on time, so overall everything went smoothly.”

4 out of 5 stars

“I was genuinely impressed by the screen quality. The picture was sharp and bright, and the sound was clear without drowning out the dialogue. The seats were comfortable too, so sitting through a long movie wasn't a problem at all.”
