The Gala Bingo club, which has been open since 1974, will close on Thursday 7 June 2018. Gala were offered a sum of money for the building which they couldn’t refuse and it is to be sold as a banqueting hall
This cinema is now a Showcase Cinema De Lux. Still 13 screens, all fully air conditioned, All 13 Screen’s have Dolby Digital Sound, Real D 3D, Sony 4K projection.
There is a Film Crew Party Room, a Lounge Bar, Costa Coffee. All 13 screens have fully customisable recliner seating as standard in every screen.
This cinema is owned by the Mundin Family. Who also own and operate The Ritz Cinema in Belper Derbyshire, and The Regal Cinema in Melton Mowbray. A fantastic refurbishment
Could anyone confirm if the proscenium and auditorium ceiling have been altered or hidden, looking at some photographs it certainly was the case and being a listed building had to be restored?
Magic and Mayhem, the North of Englands largest soft play centre opened on the 20 September 2014. The centre currently occupies the former stalls.
The circle will be subdivided to form a 300 seat cinema auditorium and a stage will be constructed for shows, live acts, music. A Café/Bar will be provided in the former café.
The building has again found a new lease of life. The auction room, gym and betting office have closed and the building has been gutted. In what was the auditorium, the space has been opened up again for the first time since the 1940/1950s. Revealing the walls of the old cinema and old corn exchange. The building is now an upmarket café/restaurant and bar now known as the Kino, harking back to the days when it was a cinema.
Now run by Tony and Amanda Mundin who run the Ritz in Belper, Regal in Melton Mowbray.
The building is still very much called The Old Savoy.
This building seems to be a like a cat with nine lives!
The building has reopened again this week as a furniture warehouse.
Permission has now been granted to demolish the auditorium whilst keeping the facade. Flats will be built in its place.
Bingo has closed
It’s a fairburn tank engine ;)
I’m wondering if there are any surviving interior photos of the Regal in stalls and circle configuration?
