The History of Reading's Cinemas Talk by David Cliffe

The History of Reading’s Cinemas Talk by David Cliffe Thu 12 Jun 25
2 - 3.30pm

£5 The Centre for Heritage and Family History, 2nd Floor, Reading Central Library, Abbey Square, Reading RG1 3BQ The author of several books, including “Picture Palace to Penny Plunge: Reading Cinemas”, David is ideally placed to talk to us about the history of Reading’s cinemas. He will describe the history of the single-screen cinema in Reading, from the travelling shows at the turn of the twentieth century, its heyday with the Vaudeville Electric Theatre in the 20s, through to today’s multi screen entertainment ‘villages’ and outdoor screenings. This is a talk which is sure to bring back many memories. Both for those who remember the cinemas mentioned and for those who remember watching films in their younger days. After the talk, tea/coffee and cake will be available (included in the price). Pre-booking is preferred, but you can pay on the door, if there are spaces available.
