The Paragon Theatre

The Paragon Theatre opened on October 28, 1933 to a capacity crowd of 1150. After a chequered history which saw it gutted and repurposed as an indoor cricket stadium in 1985 before closing down for over a decade it then underwent a major restoration in the early 2000's. After being closed again for 3 years we bought the theatre in July 2017 and are continuing the restoration. During the warmer months you can enjoy dinner in the beautiful main hall before relaxing on a leather couch to watch an old classic movie, perhaps with a glass of wine/beer or one of our famous house-made whiskey choc-tops. If you don't have time for dinner and movie you can do a self-guided tour of the theatre, for a small fee, to learn about its history and just enjoy the space. Tours generally available all year round. We also have events throughout the season including musical concerts and plays so we hope you will join us in our quest to make The Paragon Theatre the entertainment hub of Western Tasmania.

This theatre is a "quiet" attraction - low publicity and on a side street but it is a wonderful attraction of Queenstown. The new owners, who also conduct a range of tours in the Gordon River and Queenstown area, have continued the restoration in great style. The theatre area, now used for regular "fine dining with a movie", is a beautiful example of an art-deco theatre, and for just a few dollars visitors are able to enjoy a self-guided tour. Don't forget the old projection room with its arc light projector.

Nelson Falls

Reviewed By misslivena - Riga, Latvia

A nice walk through the forest. Would even recommend doing it in rain. Relaxing, easy and a very short walk.
