As a regular visitor to The Tivoli Theatre I would urge any cinema enthusiasts to visit this gloriously restored theatre. The Friends of The Tivoli have done a wonderful job. If you happen to be visiting Bournemouth or Poole do try to schedule a visit. You won’t be disappointed.
I met the former manager of the Tivoli about six years ago when he was employed as a film distributor. He was in the chair at the Tiv when it closed back in 1980. He told me that the cinema was doing very well at the time but they had a compulsory order to close since the building was going to be demolished for a road scheme, which never happened. Then as Ken Roe pointed out it sat derelict for the next ten years until the Friends Of The Tivoli got together to resurrect the old cinema.
The multi-coloured lighting system in the Tivoli’s auditorium has now been restored to working order.
