History

The Curzon Community Cinema is historically unique. It has been a part of Clevedon and entertained the community for most of the 20th century, and with the on going renovations hopes to continue to beat its record far into the next century.

Clevedon had been a farming community until the Elton family of Clevedon Court saw the potential of developing the town as a small, select seaside resort in the early 1820's. New development spread to cover the Hill and formed an area of substantial middle-class housing. The old village along the bottom of the Hill grew to provide the town with domestic servants, larger shops and on April 20th 1912, its first cinema.
