Norwich Cinema City, Art house movie theater in Norwich, England
Cinema City operates three screens inside a 14th-century merchant's house with stone vaults and timber-framed walls on St Andrews Street. The venue combines historic architecture with contemporary film projection facilities.
The building was constructed in the 14th century as the residence of merchant Robert Suckling. It was converted into a cinema in 1925 and has operated as a movie theater ever since.
The venue honours actor John Hurt through its archive and educational programs focused on local cinema heritage. Film presentations here celebrate artistic and independent work that might not reach mainstream screens.
The cinema has wheelchair access and audio description equipment available for visitors with hearing needs. The building is spread across multiple levels connected by stairs, so planning your route beforehand helps.
Original medieval vaulted cellars lie beneath the screening rooms and remain visible to visitors. These spaces span multiple centuries and reveal layers of the building's long construction history.
