"Loved the relaxed kino bar sessions with comfy chairs. I revisited a whole lot of 80s classics there. Brilliant times, I hope they come back!"

Born To Be Blue

The Belmont Cinema has been a dearly beloved space to see great film for myself and my father, particularly when I was growing up in the city. It was a frequent pastime for us - one film that comes to mind would be their screening of Robert Budreau's "Born To Be Blue" (a Chet Baker-inspired story). As a musician myself, I am grateful that the cinema was able to play such a movie and bring it to audiences in the local area. Long live the Belmont Cinema!

Childrens Saturday morning Club

Loved the Belmont. Both as a volunteer and frequent film goer. My volunteering was helping out with the Saturday morning kids club . Helped with pre-film activities, was lots of fun.

Every visit was a pleasure

Passing through Aberdeen each month with work for the past 10 years I always looked forward to having a free night to visit The Belmont. I saw many great films that I might not have seen elsewhere, and it always felt a little special to be seated in the Belmont. I was extremely disappointed to discover of its closure.
