    The Victoria Theatre Trust is a separate charitable entity from The Vic Ltd, which operates the cinema. While The Vic Ltd brings stories to life on screen, the Trust works tirelessly behind the scenes to preserve and maintain the 113-year-old heritage building and upgrade costly cinema equipment.

    We rely entirely on donations and community support to restore, upgrade, and protect this valuable community asset. Right now, we urgently need funds to replace the worn and tired seats to ensure comfort and accessibility for all.

    ✨ Your donation will help us:

    • Install new, comfortable seating

    • Improve the cinema experience for audiences of all ages

    • Support the ongoing preservation of this iconic building

    Whether you’re a regular at The Vic or a supporter of local heritage, your contribution makes a real difference

    Some of The Vic’s donated seats have hosted many movie memories — but now they’re ready for retirement. Help us bring in fresh, comfy seating for the next generation of film lovers!”

  • Help purchase new seats for the cinema

      2 July 2025

    To date $11,600 has already been raised towards the $200,000 required for the new seats thanks to the very successful Pecha Kucha nights organised by the Devonport Library Associates. These were sell-out events held at the RSA Hall and The Vic Cinema. On both of these occasions, a short film, made by Margot McRae, "The Vic: A Love Story", was screened and tells of community efforts to save The Vic.
