On 26th June, 1937 the Empire Cinema in Sandwich opened it's doors for the first time. The film chosen for the original opening performance was "Trust The Navy" starring Lupino Lane and "Craig's Wife" starring Rosalind Russell as well as a coloured rhapsody plus the Gaumont British News. The cinema was described as a modern up to date luxurious building situated in a prominent position near to the Guildhall in the centre of the town. The auditorium was of spacious design seating 600 in total in the circle and stalls areas.

Now the cinema, which re-opened in 1993, is operational in the former circle section of the building and has retained the art deco architecture and can accomodate 136 people. The auditorium has been completely re-seated with more comfortable and luxurious cinema seats and the original decorative neon lighting has been restored to the frontage of the theatre.
