Located in the former drill hall, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2130295 on the corner of Baker Street and Lewis's Lane in central Abergavenny. The two-screen cinema was opened in May 2010. It is owned by independent cinema operators Peter and Irene Davies, who also own the Coliseum Cinema http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2432776 in Brecon and the Palace Cinema in Haverfordwest. Conversion work on the Victorian building began in September 2009. The cinema has a total capacity of nearly 300 seats and is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment. There is access for wheelchair users. This is thought to be the first new cinema in 20 years to be opened in Wales by independent operators.
