The Vic

Step into a piece of cinematic history at The Vic Devonport, where the magic of the movies has been captivating audiences for over a century. First opened in 1912, this beautifully preserved heritage theatre is the oldest purpose-built cinema in the Southern Hemisphere, blending Edwardian charm with modern comforts to create a truly timeless experience.

Set in the heart of Devonport’s seaside village, The Vic offers more than just a night at the movies—it’s a destination in its own right. From the latest blockbusters to carefully curated arthouse films, live performances and special events, the programme is as diverse as it is engaging, all enjoyed within intimate, character-filled spaces that feel a world away from the typical multiplex.

Beyond the screen, the experience continues with thoughtful touches that elevate every visit, from local gelato and organic coffee to a glass of wine in hand as you settle into your seat. Whether you arrive by ferry for a day in Devonport or make it your evening’s main event, The Vic invites you to slow down, soak up its rich history, and rediscover the joy of cinema as it was meant to be.
