Be Part of #OurElectricPalace

Following the unexpected closure earlier this year, we need your help to preserve our history and ensure a vibrant future for the Electric Palace Harwich. For nearly 115 years, this cinema has been a cherished part of our community. We need your support to secure its future.

For generations, the Electric Place has been a much-loved landmark within both Harwich and our wider communities, a place to create memories and now holds great historic significance as the oldest purpose-built cinema in East Anglia.

Together, we can ensure the Electric Palace, the oldest purpose-built cinema in East Anglia, remains a vibrant part of our community. Be part of #OurElectricPalace and help us achieve our vision for a brighter future.
