The first public tours of #Hull’s historic National Picture Theatre will take place this month, offering visitors the opportunity to explore the Grade II listed building for the first time since a major restoration project brought one of the city’s most significant wartime heritage sites back into use.
Saturday 21 November, 11am to 12noon
Saturday 21 November, 1pm to 2pm
Places are free but must be booked in advance via Eventbrite here.
Originally built in 1914 and designed by Runton and Barry for the De-Luxe Theatre Company, the National Picture Theatre entertained audiences for almost three decades. However, on 17 March 1941, during an evening screening of Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, the cinema suffered a direct hit during a Luftwaffe air raid.
