Cinema in Letchworth Garden City

Back in 2008, we explored the Garden City’s historic passion for the big screen. This exhibition told the story of Letchworth’s three theatre houses, famous cinematic connections and how a visit to the movies has changed from a glamorous night out to a common leisure activity.

‘Flick’ through our highlights from the exhibition, watch the Curator's video introduction, and download pdfs of the exhibition panels below to discover fascinating facts such as which local company designed and produced Star Wars spaceships, and how Lara Croft: Tomb Raider the box office hit is linked to Letchworth GC.
