Broadway Cinema (1935) (1).jpg

Welcome​

We’re Friends of the Broadway Prestwick, and we’re a community group who have purchased the former Broadway Cinema in Prestwick.

Our vision is to restore and operate the Broadway as an independent cinema, exciting multi-use venue, and inter-generational community hub. You can already visit the Broadway to become immersed in the golden age of cinema at the Broadway Cinema Experience, and you can book now here. You can also find out more about our history here, who we are here, and become a friend of the Broadway here.

Join us on our journey!
