South West Rocks School of Arts Community Hall
The historic 1926 School of Arts Community Hall at the beach end of Gregory St, South West Rocks houses the Roxy Cinema, now known as 6th Toe. It is one of the last operating examples of the country picture shows which operated in almost every country town before the advent of television. Often screening just once or twice each week, a picture show man would ride into town and set up his projector to show movies, cartoons, and newsreels. No wonder it was the social centre of every country town during that era.
Today, the Cinema operates all year round on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays plus ALL public and school holidays. Its films are presented with digital projection and brand new, improved digital surround sound, while selected titles are presented in 3D by Real D. The Roxy screens current major Hollywood releases as well as specialising in arthouse titles from around the world.
The Hall also hosts regular music and community performances https://6thtoe.com.au/
