The Star Theatre was a cinema in Launceston from 1937 until 1969. It is a fine example of late art-deco cinema architecture and we are lucky that it has been preserved. We had a vision to reopen The Star as a cinema that showcased quality films in a beatific Art Deco space. In addition it is a venue for the community of Launceston that can be used for a range of purposes including live music, comedy, conferences and special events. A bar and cafe offers fine Tasmanian food and beverages that can be enjoyed before, during or after the movie. The films we offer are an eclectic mix of old and new, from cult-classics to new independent releases, there is something for everyone. We are very excited to have brought The Star back to life!

Presenting our precious guests with multiple choices on available packages, it is important that we can fully customise a package to suit your needs.
