Majestic Cinemas

Majestic Cinemas Sawtell is a 2-screen complex located in the heart of Sawtell’s First Avenue, the main street of Sawtell.

In 1941, Doris and Alan Brissett purchased the Community Hall on Sawtell’s First Avenue, added some wooden tiered seating, a projection room and kiosk and the Sawtell Cinema was born. For three generations the Sawtell Cinema remained in the Brissett family until it was put up for sale. In late 2014 a group of local patrons, who shared a passion for this wonderful cinema, formed the Save Sawtell Cinema alliance and stepped forward to purchase the building.

In March 2015, Council approved plans for the renovation of the Cinema, including an upgrade to a digital projection system, division of the original cinema into two separate theatres, brand new cinema seats and the addition of a café. (Oh yes, and the toilets are going to be on the inside of the building so you won’t have to get wet on rainy nights!)
