The Corn Exchange Wallingford is a volunteer run entertainment venue for Wallingford and the surrounding areas. It provides drama, art, music and the latest cinema releases in a friendly, welcoming and relaxed environment. The Grade II listed Corn Exchange building dating from 1856 is now owned by the Sinodun Players who bought the derelict building in 1975 and set about converting it into a 175 seat theatre and cinema.
Throughout the following years several extensions and alterations to the building have been made, helping to ensure the venue continues to thrive as a successful entertainment venue enjoyed by audiences, visiting companies and all the volunteers who run the building.

Our first visit there and what a charming cinema and the volunteers were excellent it was like stepping back in time but with the bonus of a great comfy seating and great sound system. I hope it continues for the next 100 years also it was great to look at the architectural features would highly recommend and definitely go there again
