Renovations

In 1937, between a Great Depression and World War, a star was born when the Randwick Ritz opened its doors to patrons for the very first time, commencing 85 uninterrupted years of magical moviegoing in the heart of Randwick.

Now our 85th birthday is approaching on July 2022, and to celebrate Ritz is undergoing exciting renovations and upgrades! These renovations retain all the gorgeous Art Deco details you love, while adding some spectacular new features.
