In 2012, The Roxy community cinema was reopened after a five-year renovation programme. This was aided by the [[Big Lottery Fund]], and re-used old seats from the [[Colston Hall]] in Bristol. It has 32 seats and an [[art deco]] box office.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-19516362|title='UK's smallest' cinema relaunches in Axbridge after transformation|work=BBC|date=7 September 2012 |access-date=9 February 2013}}</ref> The premises used to be the Axbridge Lion [[pub]], a [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] Grade II [[listed building]].<ref>{{NHLE |num=1344858 |desc=The Axbridge Lion |access-date=9 February 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.axbridgeroxy.org.uk/about-us/history/ |title=The History of the Roxy|publisher=Roxy Cinema|access-date=9 February 2013}}</ref>
