Walking tours explore cinemas now gone from Thanet’s three towns

Cinema Walk Broadstairs - ROYALTY (1934) now Serene Court flats

Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate may now only have one independent cinema between them, but the three towns have been filled with places to see a film since the dawn of moving pictures.

Join the Palace Cinema crew for walks to explore and celebrate them all, from converted sheds to glorious picture palaces, and from buildings still standing to those of which all flickering traces are long gone.

Cinema Walk Margate – PARADE (1911) now Old Kent Market

Taking in some local personalities and social history along the way, plus lots of archive images,  re-visit each town’s love for the sights, sounds and sensations of film from the 1890s to today.
