Majestic Theatre

Cairns & Far North Queensland


The Majestic has operated as a cinema since 1929, giving it some claim to being Australia's longest-running cinema. Today it's an old-fashioned experience with low-slung deck chairs but mainstream movies. Additional screenings during school holidays.
