Penistone Paramount Cinema, Art Deco movie theater in Penistone, England
Penistone Paramount Cinema is a movie theater and performance venue on Shrewsbury Road featuring Art Deco brick and stone architecture from the early 1900s. The building contains two screens for film screenings and live events, with facilities designed for visitors with different mobility needs.
The building opened in 1914 as a town assembly hall and began showing silent films in 1915. Expansions followed, including the addition of a balcony that increased the seating capacity to accommodate growing audiences.
The cinema hosts regular organ concerts using a restored 1937 instrument that came from a theater in Birmingham, making it a significant venue for live music in the town. These performances have become central to the local cultural calendar and draw visitors from beyond the immediate area.
The cinema runs multiple daily screenings with online booking services available for planning your visit ahead of time. Designated accessible areas throughout the building ensure visitors with mobility needs can enjoy screenings comfortably.
The BBC Politics Show featured this venue in 2007 as a model of successful small community theaters, drawing national attention to the venue. A major renovation in 2020 modernized the building while keeping its original character intact.
