At The Royal

Experience Cinema In The Outback

Take a step back in time to the golden age of Australian film at the Royal Open-Air Theatre Winton. From humble beginnings back in the early 1900s, to a now world-class cultural exhibit, the Theatre combines elements of the original building with state-of-the-art facilities to deliver a truly exceptional experience. A few of the Theatre highlights include:

A heritage film museum
The original roller skating rink
A candy bar with all your cinema favourites
Unique under-the-stars cinema experience in the heart of Outback Queensland
Traditional deck chair seating that captures the charm of early cinema
The original film projectors
One of only two operating open-air cinemas remaining in Australia
A living heritage venue still screening films and hosting live events
Combines classic cinema nostalgia with modern projection and sound
