Hi all, would be fantastic to see photos of the Valhalla session posters here, also anything of the Craven cafe to the left of the entrance.

Opened on 1/12/1937. Hopefully the rest of tne building might get heritage listed one day?

The cinema also installed 70mm projection but the screen size remained the same as the one used for 35mm films.Such a waste of 70mm

In the late 80’s it ran “Saturday Afternoon Double Features” in a hark back to earlier times, complete with rolling Jaffas down the aisles. Distinctly remember seeing “Thunderbirds Are Go! Sadly another one gone…

“A new company took over the lease, but quickly went into liquidation and Chris Kiely decided to re-open the Valhalla Cinema.” – Sadly that was a live theatre company, which did not have the funding to make the offer on the premises, leading to the firing of the (then) General Manager, followed by the unfortunate liquidation of the theatre company itself [Names of Company and GM witheld]

@kit66 – you should take some photos, or scan them in; so many people like me really wish we’d kept our posters – an being able to read back over those works of art would be sooo awesome!

Thanks for the info. I so miss the Valhalla. Kit66, would you consider selling me one of those posters? Love to frame one myself.

I used to go to the Valhalla frequently in the 80’s and early 90’s. Loved the atmosphere and the crowd it attracted not to mention getting to see some old classics on the big screen. I miss that. I used to collect their bi-annual advertising movie posters featuring all their upcoming movies with session dates and times. I still have a stack of them, should get a couple framed I guess.RIP Valhalla.

When it was a single screen cinema it had a very nice mono sound system with a nice echo.then one day in the 70s somebody installed stereo it was nice but the mono was much much better.
