Fully renovated cinema in Lismore with comfortable seating, premium Wilson cinema rooms, excellent sound quality, and a welcoming cafe. A quality regional cinema alternative to travelling to the coast.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Featured review by Brent Harrison

We popped in to see Song Sung Blue, or first ever trip trip Lismore cinemas so we had no preconceptions. The foyer floor is polished concrete, a sensible choice and the ticket/snack counter is light and cheerful looking. The folks who served us were helpful and friendly. The hallway to the cinemas was mostly black and lit with a blue colour a very stylish effect. Our cinema had firm, spacious seats and the sound reproduction was excellent. Our movie was about two and a half hours long but we weren't looking at our watches so the comfort level was good. On the way out the staff helped us with info on another movie we want to see.I took a quick trip to the facilities and they were clean and tidy. Edit:: the young man was ready to go cleaning the cinema after our movie and the complex as a whole was very clean. Can't really ask for more! Come and support your local cinema. Cheers and enjoy

β€œThis place is awesome! Never been to a cinema like it. So comfy and welcoming. Glad to see this place brought back to life in such a unique way. The only thing was we paid for our tickets online and when we arrived at the cinema we lined up in the online bookings line and it ended up being way slower than the line for people buying their tickets last minute because there was only one person serving in the online booking line compared to two people serving in the other. So, would have been better to just walk in and buy the ticket. Still a 5 star experience. This place is all class. Watched a movie in the Wilson and it was totally worth the extra money for the space and seats. Can't wait to try the daybeds next time.”

β€œNo need to travel up the coast for a good cinema anymore! Had an awesome experience in cinema 1 - big screen, amazing sound. Really comfy seats. Nice cafe options. The price point will keep us coming back, actually hadn't bothered with cinemas since before covid but we will now! Definitely worth getting the membership. One thing to note if you're sensitive to chemicals is there's still the smell of VOCs in the air, with all the brand new furnishings, shouldn't last long though.”

β€œMy family and I went to watch the opening of Avatar Fire and Ash and it was incredible. The staff were super friendly and the upgrades are amazing, the seats are supper comfortable. The only thing I can criticise is the markings on the seats as we found it hard to find our seats as the seats weren’t labeled or marked so we to refer to the board by the cinema doors but that’s only minor. Great work guys!!”
