Run by the Southwold Film Society, this cinema offers a programme of classic films, old and new. It's named after Southwold’s first cinema, which used to stand near here in York Road. This cinema follows the design of the original, which opened in 1912. Features include traditional cinema seats, a box office, a kiosk, a circle, an organ and air-conditoning. The Electric Picture Palace was opened in 2002 by Michael Palin.
