The Royalty Cinema, Bowness-on-Windermere:
There are many things to do and see in the Lake District, but on a rainy day why not catch a film at the Royalty Cinema in Bowness?
Set in an Art Deco- era building, the cinema has three screens.
The main one is adorned with glowing red velvet and wood panelling, with a period auditorium and Wurlitzer organ glistening in the bottom corner.
As part of an open day event, we enjoyed a look around The Royalty Cinema in Bowness-on-Windermere.
The cinema was open to give film fans a look behind the scenes.
As part of the Heritage Open Day scheme, the cinema gave members of the public a chance to find out more about the cinema, which celebrated its 90th anniversary earlier this year.
As well as learning about the building’s history, there were a number of old newsreels being shown.
Furthermore, the historic Wurlitzer organ was being played by local organist Paul Gregson.
The owner – Charles Morris, has six local cinemas across Yorkshire and Cumbria including the Roxy in Ulverston.
From the photos, the cinema close to Winderemere hasn’t changed much over the years.
