The Strand Theatre was opened in 1921. By 1946 it was operated by Jack Jaffray, who also operated the Open Air Theatre in Narrabri. The Strand Theatre was closed around 1976 when the Narrabri Drive-In opened.
In 2016 the former Strand Theatre is in use as a Christian Outreach Centre.

The Strand was built on the site if an older theatre that burnt down. On 9th June, 1928, the mayor opened the new circle which had recently been added to the auditorium.
The open air theatre, named the Savoy, adjoined the Strand and opened around early 1939 and was apparently only open during the warmer months of the year.
In 1952,the Strand was renovated and according to an article in the North Western Courier newspaper in January 1952, both the Strand and the Savoy had been fitted with the “latest in British projection and sound equipment” at this time.
If bad weather, such as rain or a dust storm affected the outdoor Savoy, the patrons were moved over to the Strand to continue their evenings entertainment.
