Plaza Community Cinema are celebrating Halloween this year with two special events which will cater for everyone. Here we go with our first announcement for Halloween at Plaza Cinema for 2024!

A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1984 American supernatural slasher film written and directed by Wes Craven and produced by Robert Shaye.

We will be dropping the second announcement tomorrow night! Keep a look out on socials.

On the 2nd September 1939 a cinema opened its doors for the first time called The Plaza. The first film shown was South Riding starring Sir Ralph Richardson & Ann Todd
On that same day due to the outbreak of WW2 the cinema closed for a short period of time.

Now 85 years later it is still as big and beautiful as it was when it first opened, the phrase used is The Jewel in Seftons Crown.

It has had 6 names in that time The Plaza, Odeon, Cannon, Classic, Apollo but by far the best one is The Plaza Community Cinema run by dedicated staff and volunteers, still going strong 27 years later

So raise a glass to another 85 years and to a stunning Art Deco building.

Independent Cinemas play an essential part in every community offering families opportunities to watch film at affordable prices, 3 independent cinemas have recently closed their doors for the last time, so supporting your local cinema is more important now than ever before. I remember the phrase the Plaza said

USE IT OR LOSE IT

Plaza Information : As the 6 weeks holiday draws to a close ( hooray some of you say) the Plaza would like to thank everyone who has supported us during the holiday time, visiting a cinema that provides tickets at affordable prices with a great service, run by a FANTASTIC group of volunteers & staff who deserve a huge round of applause.

The Plaza will now revert back to teatime and evening opening weekday and all day Saturday & Sunday

We will also as planned be closing Screen 2 for a few weeks to reopen looking like this
