Come and explore Margate's cinema history! Re-visiting the town’s love for the sights, sounds and sensations of film from the 1890s to today
10.30am - 11.30am (1 hour)
Meeting point: Corner Fort Road / Mansion Street
Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate may now only have one cinema between them, but the 3 towns have been filled with places to see a film since the dawn of moving pictures.
Join Palace Cinema for walks to explore and celebrate them all, from converted sheds to glorious picture palaces, and from buildings still standing to those of which all flickering traces are long gone. Taking in some local personalities and social history along the way, plus lots of archive images, we’ll re-visit each town’s love for the sights, sounds and sensations of film from the 1890s to today.
Routes – Cinema Walks are in the centre of each town: Broadstairs is smaller and flatter but Ramsgate and Margate include hillier streets. Please contact the Palace in advance to check if the route is suitable for you / your group. Free places are offered to carers accompanying those with a disability.
