Revue Twin

The Dalkeith Theatre opened in 1954 with “A Man and a Woman”. In 1968 the theatre was completely refurbished and re-opened as the Village Continental Cinema, and by 1969 had been renamed Village Cinema. The 688-seat Village Cinema was sold to a local supermarket (name unknown), but films were still presented for some time until the cinema was closed while plans were drawn up first to turn it into a triple cinema, including putting a new cinema on the roof, then- less ambitiously- to turn it into a twin cinema.

This finally opened on 21st November 1996, as a twin cinema, but at first with only one screen in operation. It was known as the Revue, and by 1999, both screens were in operation. A bookshop cafe opened, specialising in cinema and related publications. The Revue Cinema closed in(2002?). The Revue Twin no longer functions as a cinema, but re-opened as a warehouse selling furniture and bric-a-brac. Cinema 1 has had all the seats removed, but the owners want the screens and projectors to remain in situ. Some seats have been retained in Cinema 2, which is rented out to a choir of 250 voices. By 2015 it had been converted into a church.
