Background
Architecture
The Showroom Cinema is housed in a 1936 art deco building which was formerly the Kennings car dealership. It was first opened in 1993 with two screens; further phases of development have added another two screens, a bar and cafe and a meeting room, making it one of the attractions of Sheffield's Cultural Industries Quarter, in the south-east of the city centre. Much of the remainder of the building is the Workstation, offices intended for use by business working in the cultural industries. The conversion programme was completed in 1998 and saw an entrance to the cinema created from Sheaf Square; the Workstation retains the original entrance on Paternoster Row.
