Keswick Alhambra Cinema

About

As far as we know, the Keswick Alhambra Cinema is the sixth oldest continuously-running cinema in the UK. The original, single screen Edwardian auditorium remained open throughout both world wars and has only ever closed for any length of time for the Covid lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. In 2021 we completely refurbished the cinema, adding a second, 29 seater studio screen, digital laser projection and Dolby sound systems, creating a beautiful lobby and reception space, and cleaning and repointing the facade. Today the two-screen Alhambra shows a wide range of films, from mainstream to arthouse, with a choice to appeal to all ages and tastes, together with the best of the world's theatre, ballet and opera, relayed live by satellite several times a month. Open every day of the year, including Christmas Day, and always offering a warm welcome.
