The Electric Picture Palace was opened by Michael Palin in May 2002. It is named after the first Southwold cinema which began to operate in 1912 (in York Road where the Surgery now stands) and follows the style of this period. It has 66 authentic cinema seats, a box office, kiosk, circle, organ, air-conditioning, etc.

The Electric Picture Palace is owned and run by Southwold Film Society.
New for 2008 - now with a Wedding Licence!

Programme
The Electric Picture Palace shows films in 'Seasons' throughout the year (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Seasons), with a short break in between each Season. The Season programme is only made public once the Southwold Film Society members have had their chance to book whatever seats they require. Until then no programme is displayed. If you are not a member (£5 per year), nor are able to come as a guest of a member, not to worry as membership is available just for the Season (£2). Membership entitles you to bring a limited number of guests. Contact Box Office for details.
