Closed as a cinema Saturday, 29th November, 1969 with the popular British film ‘The Virgin Soldiers’.
The former theatre converted to the M & Co. can be seen here.
This photograph shows how the Embassy Cinema Tenterden might look as a twin screen venue. Although the interior has been gutted, the building could house a two or three screen digital cinema. However, this looks doubtful as the building is occupied by M&Co. The nearby town of Ashford (twelve miles) are planning to expand their multiplex because of increased custom. Instead of Tenterden cinema goers travelling to Ashford, Cineworld need to run an off shoot and manage the three screen operation in Tenterden. It depends on how long M&Co hold the lease on the Embassy building.
