History
Aldeburgh Cinema was founded in 1919[3] and has screened films regularly since then. The auditorium was built onto the back of a 19th-century High Street store.[4]
In the 1960s the theatre was in financial difficulties and was scheduled to close; members of the community came together to refurbish the building and to organize events in the theatre.[5] Among these was Susan Harrison, who in 2012 was presented with a British Empire Medal for her work in promoting film and theatre arts.[3]
In 2008 Albeburgh Cinema was one of several in the UK which took part in the first live remote screening of a ballet from the National Theatre in London,[6] using equipment provided by the government organized Digital Screen Network.[7]
The theatre hosts a cinema club which in 2012 had about 1,200 members.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 2015, the theatre was a comedy venue for the HighTide Festival.[4]
