The Palace is featured in an episode of the 1980s childrens' TV series Jossy’s Giants, screenshot in photo section.
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!!!
