Bonney Theatre
A beautifully preserved Art Deco picture theatre in the heart of Barmera, now a community events venue with occasional film screenings.
The Bonney Theatre is one of Barmera's great survivors - a classic country picture theatre that has entertained Riverland audiences for generations. Its period detailing and old-fashioned charm make it a piece of living heritage on the main street.
Now run as a council events venue hosting concerts, dances and occasional film screenings, it offers a nostalgic night out and a glimpse of the role the local picture theatre once played in river towns across the region. Check what's on and you might catch a film the way Barmera always has.
