About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

    New Farm Cinemas has a long and distinguished history stretching back more than 100 years. The complex holds a special place in the hearts and memories of many people.

    A cinema at 701 Brunswick Street, New Farm Cinemas was built c. 1921. It is also known as Astor Theatre, Merthyr Picture Palace, and Village Twin Cinema Complex. The New Farm Cinemas redevelopment has retained elements of the heritage-listed Village Twin Cinema, which was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 24 March 2000.

    Local historian Robert Allen will lead several behind-the-scenes tours of the heritage-listed complex on Saturday morning and the foyer will be open to BOH visitors throughout the day. Tours will run at 9.00am, 9.20am and 9.40am on Saturday morning.
