The Little Theatre Cinema was built by community theatre pioneer Consuelo de Reyes and her husband in 1935. It initially functioned as a news theatre open from midday and showing hourly programmes of documentaries and newsreels. Feature films were first shown in 1939, the first two being "Peg of Old Drury" starring Anna Neagle followed by "Oh Mr Porter" starring Will Hay. The cinema thrived on local support throughout the years as other Bath cinema venues closed and in 1979 the former scenery store and lounge area were converted into a second screen. In spite of many refurbishments to keep the cinema up-to-date with digital sound and the latest projection technology, and a renewal of the seats to give the very best comfort levels, The Little Theatre has retained the charm and welcoming warmth of a 1930's cinema, including a luxury balcony with sofas in the main auditorium.
One of things I love about the Little Cinema in Bath is the variety of films shown. With only 2 screens there's always a smaller selection than a larger cinema. However, they do wonderful focused seasons celebrating great film making. Whether it's the showing of Studio Ghiblis films last month or this months Ingmar Bergman season there are great oppurtunities to see interesting indie films, documentaries and classics. A true haven for a film lover! Seeing the Seventh Seal on the big screen was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon yesterday!

HISTORY This cinema was opened as The Odeon on 13th July 1936. The architect was T.Cecil Howitt who also designed very similar Odeons in Weston super Mare, Bristol and Clacton on Sea. It had 1,525 seats. Howitt's Odeons were very stylish mid- Art Deco buildings and there are exterior and interior photographs on display in the cinema foyer. The main staircase and upper foyer retain many features. During the late 1960's it was sold to Classic Cinemas, who were later bought by Cannon Cinemas. Classic separated the stalls area for Bingo and divided the balcony into the two existing cinemas, making a new cinema entrance on the side. Scott Cinemas acquired cinemas in this thriving town in December 1983. For further information see: Odeon Cinemas 1 by Allen Eyles, BFI Publishing. CURRENT The cinema has two identical auditoria on the first floor occupying the old circle. A refurbishment was carried out in 2005 to restep the auditoria to allow new seating to installed. 2011 saw the refurbishment of the toilets and some front of house areas, and both screens were converted to Digital Projection. In 2013 we completely refurbished the lower foyer, with some sprucing up of the upper foyer.

We really like this cinema. We came as my son wanted to take his friends for his birthday. There were eight of us all together and I know what if we went to Odeon it would have cost us at least double. The staff were really prompt in serving us. The chairs are very comfortable and have plenty of legroom. The ticket prices are very good and all the snacks and drinks are very reasonably priced. The children also love that the staff come round before the film to sell ice creams. We will definitely be coming back soon

We thoroughly enjoyed the "full house" Downton cinematic experience at this iconic cinema from the friendly ushers and usherettes to the kiosk and bar staff supported by the splendid traditional range of snacks and drinks. In order to keep this Cinema open please donate towards the new roof fund.

Single Screen Art Deco cinema on Mantle Street, Wellington. Part of the Merlin Cinemas Group. Blockbusters and events on the big screen!
A fabulous dare I say old fashioned cinema but with great dolby sound and a good size screen. As I have recently moved into the area this is a great bonus to living in a small town. Bought an annual movie card making watching films less than a fiver anytime. Bargain :-)

The people of Wells are so lucky to have this superb cinema. wW were made very welcome and the smaller size of the place made going to see a film such a pleasure compared to the bland, corporate feel of the chains. We went to see 'Tenet', a film that's had a bad press for its poor sound quality. However at Wells they've got the sound balance right and most of the dialogue was reasonably clear, even to this hearing-aid user. The screens are smaller than the big chains, but so are the auditoriums, so its not really noticeable once the film gets going.

Great film. Could hear it perfectly. Not too loud not too quiet. Screen was big enough considering it was only screen 2 which is the small one. Perfect prices. Good entertainment for me and my friends. Will be going again
