Discover the Charm of Lynton Cinema – A Unique Film-Going Exmoor Experience in North Devon

In the serene town of Lynton, positioned in the idyllic North Devon landscape, lies a hidden gem for movie enthusiasts – the Lynton Cinema.

Recognised by Time Out as one of the top 50 cinemas in the UK and Ireland, this venue offers a distinct cinematic experience, steeped in rich history and modern conveniences.

A Slice of Cinematic History

Lynton Cinema prides itself on a deep historical background that harks back to the era of the great war, with its roots beginning as The Picturedrome in 1916. Through the evolution of cinema technology and shifts in audience preferences, it has transformed into a full-time cinema, ingeniously set up in a Grade II listed former Methodist Chapel since 2001. This single-screen cinema offers all the charm and comfort expected of a modern movie theatre, including plush seating for 68 guests, complete with ample legroom, Dolby Digital sound, full air-conditioning in summer and central heating in winter.

Films and Showtimes

Catering to its community and visitors, Lynton Cinema runs the gamut of near-release shows and special presentations all year round. During the summer, the cinema provides two daily shows – one tailored for families and another for general audiences. In the winter, it shifts to one evening performance at 8:00 PM alongside a Monday afternoon matinee at 2:30 PM. This schedule variation ensures that no matter when you visit Lynton, a cinematic escape is waiting for you.
