Built in 1911 the Electric Palace Harwich is one of the world’s oldest and least altered purpose-built cinemas to survive complete with its silent screen, original projection room and ornamental frontage still relatively intact. Other interesting features include an open plan entrance lobby complete with paybox, and a small stage plus dressing rooms although the latter are now unusable. There is also a former gas powered generator engine with a 7 foot fly wheel situated in the basement.

Following major repair and restoration work to save the Grade II* listed historic cinema, the venue reopened in April 2022 and offers regular film screenings as well as being established as a live music venue.  The venue is a also available for hire for private functions such as weddings, birthday parties, society meetings, business seminars, private screenings and as a film location.
