Scone Civic Theatre

Scone Civic Theatre is a movie theater in Scone featuring Streamline Moderne design marked by smooth horizontal lines and curved forms. The building contains hundreds of seats across different levels and serves both film screenings and community performances.

The building was constructed in the late 1930s as a public entertainment venue for the community. Construction took about a year and represented a significant investment in leisure facilities during an economically challenging period.

The theater preserves its original Art Deco details in the foyer and auditorium, reflecting design choices popular across Australia during that era. Visitors can see these original elements today and feel the craftsmanship that went into the interior finish.

The building sits centrally in town and is easily reached on foot from the city center. Visitors should arrive early to fully appreciate the architectural details and interior features throughout the venue.

The theater hosted the Australian premiere of a significant Australian film that was partly shot in the surrounding area. This connection to local film history makes the venue particularly interesting for movie enthusiasts.
