The Station Cinema opened in 2007 as part of the redevelopment of a former Victorian railway station in the heart of Richmond. The station first opened in 1846, with the last trains departing the platform in 1969. Following restoration by the Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust in 2006, the building was sensitively reimagined and reopened to the public in 2007 as a hub for Food, Film and Art. 

In February 2022, the cinema came under the proud ownership of the Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust, a registered charity. All profits go towards the continued restoration of this magnificent building, and may also be used to support other at-risk heritage buildings across Richmondshire.

Since its inception, The Station Cinema has been committed to offering a diverse programme of independent, international and Hollywood cinema. Drawing audiences and members from across the North and Yorkshire and even welcoming international visitors, our cinema has established itself as the region's leading charitably run independent cinema. From charitable screenings and film festivals to community events, creative workshops and in-person Director Q&As, there is always something to discover.
