Ritz Cinema, Art deco cinema in Nuneaton, England.
The Ritz Cinema is an Art Deco cinema in Nuneaton featuring detailed fibrous plasterwork throughout its auditorium with ornamental finishes. The building contains seating on two levels and maintains its original architectural character as a Grade II listed structure.
The building opened as a cinema in 1937 and changed ownership to Associated British Cinemas within months of its launch. It operated as a cinema for decades before closing in 1984 and being converted to a bingo hall.
The venue served as a social gathering place for residents and shaped the entertainment culture of the town during its most active decades. Its design reflects how cinemas of that era were built as spaces of elegance where people gathered for leisure and community connection.
The building is located at the intersection of Abbey Street and Jubilee Way in central Nuneaton, making it straightforward to reach. Visitors should note that while the structure is preserved, it is not currently operating as a cinema venue.
The building once housed a Compton organ with an illuminated console, a hallmark feature of luxury cinemas of that era. This instrument was later relocated to a church in Essex where it continues to be heard today.
