A Hub of Cultural Events: Ambassador Theatre

The Ambassador Theatre has evolved significantly since its foundation in 1764, initially serving as an assembly hall for the Rotunda Hospital. This significant venue transitioned from a cinema in the early 1900s to a prominent exhibition and event center today.

The theatre was named Rotund Room and began showcasing films in 1897. It transitioned to a full-time cinema by 1910, with a capacity of 736 seats. In 1954, after significant renovations, it relaunched as the Ambassador with a capacity of 1,200, including a balcony and private boxes. It hosted major film screenings, including the notable The Blue Max in 1966.
