Wetherby's Cinema

Wetherby's Cinema is a single-screen theater with 136 seats that operates both digital and reel-to-reel projection systems. The auditorium includes a licensed bar where patrons can consume beverages during screenings.

The theater opened in 1915 with 260 seats and initially relied on a gas-powered generator for electricity. The arrival of electric power later transformed how it operated technically.

The cinema bridges different eras of film by showing both new releases and older works through its working film projector. Visitors experience how cinema history and contemporary films coexist under the same roof.

The venue sits on Crossley Street at postcode LS22 6RT and can be reached by phone at 01937 580544 for booking inquiries. Regular screenings require advance booking, particularly on weekends.

It is one of the few still-operating theaters in the area that preserves an original film projector from its early years. This preservation stands out because most other older venues of its kind have long since closed.
