My first visit to this cinema. Initially a bit hard to find set back off the street. Looked small until you walk in and realise, although a strange layout, there are lots of cinemas and plenty of space. Good candy bar with some additional food, alcohol and coffee options. Really enjoyed the experience in the cinema with great picture and sound and comfortable seating. Highly recommend and a great choice of movies.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children and teens who want more than multiplex blockbusters. Parents can grab a drink at the bar as kids enjoy fresh popcorn. The private screening option is a standout for birthday parties. Younger children may find the boutique seating less roomy than major chains.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘The entrance is set back from the main street β€” look for signage rather than a large shopfront
⏰Membership pays off quickly for families who visit monthly or more
🎟️Private screenings seat up to 18 β€” book well ahead for birthday parties
πŸš—Bar opens before sessions, giving time to settle in before the film starts

β€œWe had a private screening of The Substance to cap off a Halloween bus tour in 2024. We arrived fairly messy and left even messier however the professionals at The Palace took extremely good care of us. From the setup to the end - they were amazing. For a great price, I cannot recommend a private screening for you and your friends enough at Palace Nova. Thanks so much guys :)”

β€œI love this place. The variety of movies they show is outstanding. So many options not usually available at the main/ major clomplexes. Reasonably priced tix, i can hit the bar before going in. I go here on average, once a month. If i could give more stars, i would!”

β€œMy go-to cinema to see new films! The bar staff are lovely and make good drinks. The popcorn is always fresh and delicious ☺️ The seats aren't the most comfortable but they have cup holders and the cinema has always been clean when I'm there. Prices are good here and if you're a regular movie-goer, they have a good membership plan for you to get great value too.”
