Penarth Pier Pavilion Cinema has officially opened full time, bringing a packed programme of films and special screenings to the historic seafront venue.
The cinema will now host more than 15 screenings each week across five days, offering visitors the chance to enjoy a wide range of films in the iconic Pavilion building overlooking the Severn Estuary.
Among the films showing in March are Goat (15–22 March), Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (15–19 March), The Bride! (22 March–2 April), and Hoppers (29 March–9 April). There will also be a special screening of Moulin Rouge! on 29 March to mark the film’s 25th anniversary.
Located at Penarth Pier Pavilion on The Esplanade, the cinema forms part of one of South Wales’ most recognisable seaside landmarks.
Penarth Pier first opened in 1894 and has remained a defining feature of the town’s waterfront for more than a century. Over the years it has survived storms, wartime damage and major restoration projects, becoming a lasting symbol of Penarth’s maritime heritage.
The Pavilion itself, a striking art deco building dating from 1929, has been carefully refurbished in recent years and now serves as a hub for arts, culture and community activity.
Today the pier continues to welcome visitors who come to enjoy the views across the Severn Estuary, stroll along the historic walkway and experience the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside.
Penarth Pier Pavilion Cinema is easily accessible from the town centre and can be reached by car, bus or train. Parking is available along The Esplanade and nearby streets, with additional parking in the town centre and on nearby roads including Cliff Hill, Bridgeman Road, Marine Parade and Plymouth Road.
The full cinema programme and tickets are available through the Penarth Pier Pavilion.
