It became Cinema City in 1978, with additional screens added between 2004 and 2007, and now boasts three screens which show new releases alongside independent films and Vintage Sundays with timeless classics.

A multi-screen cinema on the coast, which shows the latest releases alongside art-house and independent showings.
Owned by Merlin Cinemas, and their only one in Norfolk, the venue originally opened in 1916 as a combined music hall and cinema venue.
In the 1980s, the cinema's future was in doubt as attendance dwindled, but then Chris Green acquired the Regal and launched a refurbishment programme and converted it to a four-screen complex.

6. Central Cinema
Market Place, Fakenham, NR21 9BP
The Victorian building was built in 1855 and designed by architect John Brown, who is best known for his churches and was the surveyor on Norwich Cathedral.
It was converted into a 700-seat cinema in 1930, and was renamed as the Central Cinema seven years later, and closed in 1976 when it became a bingo club until the 1990s.
After extensive repair works, it was restored as a Hollywood Cinema in 2000 and it now has an independent owner and is a bargain with standard tickets priced at just £4.

10. Orion Cinema
Market Place, Dereham, NR19 2AW
It was recently saved from closure by Orion Cinema when previous owners Hollywood Cinema went into administration and locals were delighted at the news.
It was built as the East Dereham Corn Exchange in 1857 and became the town's silent cinema and during the Second World War a bomb shattered one side of its roof during an enemy raid but it survived.
In the 1960s the capacity was reduced so they could create a dance hall to go alongside it and, like many others, it became a bingo hall in the seventies and reopened as a cinema in 1992.
