Norwich Cinema City

The building is owned by Norwich City Council and the site is managed by the charity Cinema City Ltd (changed name from Norfolk and Norwich Film Theatre Ltd in August 2014), charity number 288309.

It was bought by the Norfolk News Company in 1916 who made some repairs before selling it to Ethel Mary and Helen Caroline Colman in 1923.

In 1925 they presented Suckling House and the new hall to the City of Norwich to be used for "the advancement of education in its widest and most comprehensive sense".

[2] Redevelopment works were in large part funded by an Arts Council grant in excess of £3m.

A couple of metres were dug down to create space for the new auditoria, which have their screens backing onto St Andrews Street.
