Electric Palace

The Electric Palace is a unique 1920s theatre, right in the heart of Bridport, presenting a varied programme of film, comedy, music, live screenings of plays, live theatre and other events. The auditorium is the largest venue in the area with a maximum capacity of 500 people. The main and circle foyers feature beautiful original paintings by George Biles, a Bridport signwriter for the local brewery. It has recently undergone extensive renovation retaining and enhancing the original features. The structural integrity of the building has been improved and the cinema technology, stage equipment and other facilities have been brought into the 21st century. It is still owned by a local family, and the building continues to provide first-class entertainment for the people of Bridport, West Dorset and beyond. Our friendly, helpful team of staff and stewards look forward to welcoming you.
