The Chilton Cinema originally seated 495 and dates from the 1920’s. It now has a reduced seating capacity and serves hot pizza and sandwiches while you view a movie. There are matinees on the weekend.

This is a movies and food theatre.. When Reel Theatres took over in 2005 they expanded the kitchen and added theatre tables dropping the seating from 495 to the current seating. The header should also have an AKA Norton Cinema 1. That was its name when it was operated by Norton Cinemas.
