Taken over by John Downs in the 1980s. It was his company Cosmo Leisure that converted it into a bar/nightclub opening in December 2004. A series of incidents led to its licence being revoked and it closed suddenly in December 2012.
Sadly, the Palace Cinema closed on 26th August 2003 screening the movie “American Pie-The Wedding”.
It opened on 17th July 1913 and had an original seating capacity of 750. It had operated continuously (apart from a short break when Cinemascope was installed) for just over 90 years.
Plans were being proposed to re-open it as a bar/nightclub.
This is a fanatastic cinema, the first time i went to this cinema i just stared at the decco! Its brilliant!
Please keep it running forever!!!
