Opened 15 June 1936 with Top Hat. Replaced Hurst’s previous cinema which burned down in 1935. Irish premiere of Moby Dick held here in 1954 as it had been partially shot in the town.

The Regal was converted to 3 screens in June 1997 and closed on 29 August 2010. Projectionist Michael Roche, who was 87 at the time, was reputed to be the oldest in Ireland.

A poster on the cinema asks for expressions of interest in the former cinema. Downtown Youghal has many empty premises, and the small department store there recently closed.
