East Belfast’s Picture House Past

East Belfast’s Picture House Past

Do you remember the ‘Pop’? Or what about the ‘Winkie’? Did you ever pay into a cinema with a jam jar?
This illustrated talk will recall both the ‘flea pits’ and picture palaces of East Belfast in days gone by.
Learn more about the area’s rich picture house past and contribute your own memories.

Part of our ‘Tuesday Talks’ programme:  free talks about the heritage of the local area, followed by a cuppa and a chat. Hosted by the Strand at our pop-up venue at Connswater Shopping Centre. Made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund
