Welcome to the Wellesley Cinema, Wellington.
The Wellesley was built in 1937, it is in the traditional Art Deco style of that period, the auditorium seats 400 people on two levels, 250 downstairs "STALLS" and 150 upstairs "CIRCLE" which has raked stadium seating, and provides a little more comfort and greater leg-room. The Wellesley is now operated under Private Independent Management, many improvements have been carried out in recent times, including the installation of a brand new - Projection Equipment in March 2003, in February 2006 we installed the latest Multi Media projection equipment which now allows us to screen films in ALL formats, 35mm, 16mm, dvd, video and satellite links, we have also installed an induction loop system in the circle area, all as part of our policy of continuous upgrading.

Disabled Access - There are five steps with handrail to the main foyer which gives access to the refreshment kiosk, stalls and a unisex toilet. Please call ahead if wheelchair assistance is required.

CLASSIC CINEMA at the Wellesley ... Giving you the opportunity of seeing films on the BIG SCREEN that you would not normally get the opportunity of seeing - on the BIG CINEMA SCREEN!
Shows are normally on a Thursday Morning and also most Sunday afternoons.

Parking is available, onstreet, just outside the theatre. There is in addition a pay and display car park just 300 metres away.

Program Details - Regretfully these are occasionally subject to late change.

Seats are not bookable, being a large undivided auditorium, there should always be plenty of room for everyone!
