Book online for The Ritz

Blog image

Thirsk's Ritz Cinema is one of the oldest continuously run cinemas in the United Kingdom, having first opened to the public in 1912.

The original silent movie screen with the crest above it still exists behind the present screen. The ‘talkies’ arrived in 1927 and the cinema capacity was increased to accommodate the ensuing larger audiences by fitting a balcony area. It was at this time that the name was also changed to ‘The Ritz’.

Since 1995 the cinema has been run by a dedicated team of volunteers and it aims to bring recent film releases to this rural town at affordable prices.

Also keeping up wth the times, you now have the option of booking online, choosing either downstairs or balcony seats. The price is £7 each and you pay by debit or credit card.
