Another Village country drive-in. Village used drive-ins as the leverage to gain a foothold in these regional areas and by the 1970’s had a strong presence. By this time Hoyts were selling drive-ins and closing hardtop theatres in locations where they had held sway for decades.
Hamilton had a good size screen and neat modern snack bar/projection booth building. Kenrick Drive-ins took over after Village and ran the drive-in as part of their circuit for some time. After closure the screen stood for many years until finally making way for a works depot.
