Saraton Theatre, Heritage movie theater in Grafton, Australia.
Saraton Theatre is a multi-screen cinema in Grafton with digital projection and stadium seating across its auditoriums. The building at 95 Prince Street provides wheelchair access and modern facilities, including handmade chocolate treats.
The theater opened in 1926 when architect F. J. Board completed its design. A major renovation led by George Rae in 1940 transformed its appearance and structure for future decades.
The name comes from the Notaras family, Greek immigrants who have run this cinema for generations and shaped the town's cultural life. Today, visitors can sense how a family business became woven into Grafton's local identity.
The venue offers hearing aid loops for those who need them and maintains accessible facilities throughout. Evening and weekend visits tend to have the most showtimes and fuller schedules.
The building has continuously operated as a working cinema for over nine decades, showing how a family business can endure through massive changes in entertainment. This longevity sets it apart from many other cinemas that have closed or moved away.
