It is a Grade II listed building,[3] with a capacity of 3,500 (2,514 standing, 986 seats).[1][4] HistoryThe building was designed by architects Peter Cummings, Alex Irvine and R. Gillespie Williams in an art deco style. The buildings frontage consists of a glazed white terracotta façade. Its original purpose was as a multi-purpose cinema and variety hall and was opened by actress Margaret Lockwood. In the 1970s it stopped presenting films and became solely a concert venue.
