Majestic Theatre

The Majestic Theatre is a heritage-listed silent film theatre located at 3 Factory Street in Pomona, in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland. Built in 1921, it is recognised as one of the oldest continuously operating silent movie theatres in the world. The timber hall retains its original facade and interior character and now operates as a community-run cinema and performing arts venue.

Visitors can expect a restored 1920s timber theatre hall with original facade, raked timber seating, stage, large screen and vintage projection equipment. The interior features heritage decor, memorabilia and a theatre organ used for silent film accompaniment. The venue hosts regular silent film screenings with live organ, contemporary films, live music, comedy and community theatre in an intimate small-town setting on Factory Street, adjacent to Majestic Park.

Built in 1921 as a silent picture theatre and community hall in Pomona, the Majestic Theatre has operated as a cinema and entertainment venue for over a century. It retains much of its original timber construction and facade and is listed on the Noosa Shire heritage register and Queensland Heritage Register as a rare surviving example of an early regional picture theatre. It was restored and reopened by community volunteers after periods of closure.

The theatre is a cultural hub for the Noosa hinterland community, known for preserving silent film heritage through regular screenings with live organ accompaniment and for hosting the Pomona Majestic Theatre silent film programs and local performing arts. It is volunteer-operated and represents the social and entertainment history of rural Queensland towns.
