Carlton Cinema

Arts, Culture and Entertainment

*Now Open. Please check with Cinema for COVID restrictions in place*

The Carlton is a family-run Independent Cinema, housed in a unique Grade II Listed Building in the heart of Westgate-on-Sea. The Cinema, now part of the Picturedome Group, was originally built in 1911 as Westgate-on-Sea's Town Hall.

We screen an eclectic mix of current Hollywood blockbusters, great family movies, and some of the Arthouse gems you may not see elsewhere.

Featuring 3 screens and air-conditioning throughout. Screen 1 - 297 seats with 25 luxury lounge seats, Screen 2 - 54 seats and Screen 3 - 32 seats  

Our tearoom, Frederick’s, serves homemade cakes, savories and other treats that include a wide choice of gluten-free menu options.

Tickets are £3.50 all week. Lounge seats, available in Screen 1, have a £1 extra charge.
