Pola Cinema, Welshpool

The Pola is a family affair. Opened in 1938 as the flagship of Paramount Pictures' north Wales circuit, the cinema has Art Deco written all over it, beautiful curves and splendid stained glass. Originally seating 800, the majority of the building is now given over to other uses, but there are two intimate salons on the first floor, seating 210 between them and showing recent releases.
