The Broadway Cinema

Ayrshire

The Broadway Cinema opened on 29^th April 1935, and today survives as one of Scotland’s greatest remaining examples of an Art Deco golden age cinema.

Now in community ownership with Friends of the Broadway Prestwick, the Broadway is about to be brought back to life. The cinema will be fully restored with heritage preservation at the forefront of the project’s development. For now, many areas of the building remain virtually untouched since the cinema closed in 1976, with remarkable original features still remaining.

For Doors Open Days the Broadway Cinema’s doors will be open once again for our community to see the incredible progress and take part in new community consultation exercises as we build the Broadway of the future together. With greater behind-the-scenes insight to the building than ever before and the opportunity to experience the evocative atmosphere of the golden age of cinema.
