Our Country Picture Theatre
The Toogoolawah Pictures has a great selection of family movies, perfectly timed for the upcoming school holidays and beyond.
Located at the Alexandra Hall, our charming country picture theatre features both traditional canvas sling seats and contemporary theatre seating. Combining nostalgic charm with modern conveniences, the delivery and surround sound that resonates throughout the historic hall.
The Toogoolawah & District Progress Association owns and operates the Alexandra Hall and Toogoolawah entertainment for the community. The volunteers provide a full cinema experience, complete with hotdogs, popcorn and snack bar treats, and an interval.
The cinema has a seating capacity of up to 200 guests; however, it is advisable to make a reservation on busy nights to ensure your spot. Parking is located close to the venue.
The Alexandra Hall has functioned as a community venue and picture theatre intermittently since the early 1900s, operated both privately and by volunteer associations. Currently, Progress members perform most of the maintenance and cleaning tasks, having raised substantial funds and secured grants for various renovation projects. These projects include electrical re-wiring, re-stumping, painting, roof replacement, and numerous other repairs.
The hall is now well-maintained and attracts many tourists interested in exploring and photographing its architecture and iconic ticket box.
Whether you have an interest in preserving historic buildings or a passion for cinema, the Progress Association are always keen to welcome new members and can be contacted through our Facebook page.
