The Richmond Regent is in a heritage-listed Art Deco theatre. I think the old building adds to the charm of the experience. There are two cinemas: one upstairs and one downstairs.

The chairs are adequately comfortable, the sound is good, the screens are a reasonable size. There is parking in the street outside or there is a carpark at the rear of Toxana Street. The prices are cheaper than the bigger "city" cinemas.

The one thing that may be a negative for some people is that there is a flight of steps from the street to the foyer and another big flight of steps to the upstairs cinema.

Approximate cost: $9-$11

Growing up the the Hawkesbury, the Regent was the go-to place for a movie night out. Operating long before the big chain cinemas, the experience always felt like it had the romance of the days of the old black and white movies.
We visited the Regent when in town recently and decided to catch a movie. The old girl hasn't changed very much at all over the years. It was a lovely experience being back in the old building and did really take me back to being a child. While not having all the mod cons of the larger chains, the seats were comfortable enough, and the air conditioner was working on this particularly warm day. The only downside being that as it is an old building, the air was a little musty, and there was a smell of damp. It felt like it could have been due for a steam clean.
Cheap tickets, a charming old building, and a lovely escape for a few hours. A nice way to see a movie in a theatre with a bit of character.

I visit this cinema regularly, its great value and a fun family atmosphere. It shows the latest releases. The seats aren't as comfortable as the multi screen cinemas and the screen might not be the latest technology but its cheap and simple.

Approximate cost: $10

I went and saw This is It! The quality of the sound was quite poor and the screen was out of focus initially but came good after a while. I think the cinema is good for taking the kids for a cheap outing, not so much for a good movie.

THis is the last of the old small cinemas where you can see the latest films at great prices .Service is good ,and has a candy bar.entrance is on the main street, we didnt have to worry about parking as it is near enough to the station.

Approximate cost: $10.00

A good family day out, cheaper then other cinemas but also you get what you pay for. An older style theatre that still has your candy bar but the screen is smaller then newer cinemas and the sound is also less then what you get elsewhere. For kids who don't car about that sort of thing its a good time out.

Approximate cost: $11 each

An old fashioned picture theatre, with very helpful staff.The prices are lower than that those of the big cinema chains but the experience is much better.

Approximate cost: $9.00-$11
