Chef De Partie
Cinema City, Norwich
Cinema City Bar & Kitchen are situated within the beautiful 17th-century Suckling House, featuring vaulted ceilings, stone arches and antique panelled rooms. They also encompass the John Hurt Centre function rooms, which are full of reminders of the city’s rich cinema history.
Cinema City occupies Suckling House, the 16th-century home of Robert Suckling, Mayor, Sheriff and Burgess. The oldest surviving parts of the building date from the early 14th century. After falling into disrepair Suckling House was bought by Ethel Mary and Helen Caroline Colman in 1923. They restored it and added Stuart Hall, intended as a public space and equipped with a cinema projector and screen. In 1925 they presented Suckling House and the new hall to the City of Norwich to be used for the advancement of education in its widest and most comprehensive sense.
The building was opened to the public by the Duke of York, later King George VI. Cinema City first opened in April 1978. Between 2004 and 2007 additional screens were added and public areas extended through a comprehensive programme of rebuilding and restoration. The cinema occupies Suckling House, a partly medieval merchant's house in St Andrews Street, named after the Suckling family who owned it in the sixteenth century. Suckling Hall was last used as a residence in 1915.
