Hawera Cinemas is an independently operated cinema, operated by a trust on behalf of the South Taranaki community. The core purpose of the cinema is to provide quality entertainment for South Taranaki residents and visitors based on movies. All those involved in the cinema strive to ensure that it is a community asset that all are proud to be associated with.

Hawera Cinemas screens on average 107 movies a year, of which 78% are on the National release date which means we are screening the popular films at the same time as the main cities. Whilst enhancing local cultural life through the provision of mainstream and/or specialised film is our core business recently we have added to the overall experience with the addition of a cafe area and a hot food menu.

The delicious goodies on offer can be enjoyed in our cafe area or delivered to you in the theatre for you to enjoy while watching your movie. By combining the magic of the movies on the BIG SCREEN with a cafe area we have created a true destination spot.
