Cottage Road Cinema

Cottage Road Cinema is arguably one of the oldest cinemas in the country, in that it has been open and continuously showing films since 1912. It was the last surviving cinema of the once extensive Associated Tower Cinemas Group, and so give Headingley the unique claim to be the only area within Leeds to still offer independently owned screens.

The Cottage Road Cinema was originally known as The Headingley Picture House, and was not purpose built, but was an adaptation of a building dating back to 1905, when it began life as motor garage and motorcycle assembly shop for nearby Castle Grove, a Victorian mansion built for a wealthy Leeds silk merchant, in far Headingley.

Note – Cottage Road Cinema has lots to offer, but it does have a bar selling alcoholic drinks. If you think that might be an issue for you. Please be mindful.

Cottage Road Cinema became part of Northern Morris Associated Cinemas in 2005.
