Often overshadowed by the Opera
House Theatre, the Pavilion is a stunning theatre in its own right. In 1885 it received a new proscenium and private boxes, but was extensively altered in 1897 when the floor was lowered and tilted towards the stage. After entertaining audiences as a cinema with ‘Talkies’ from the early 1930's, it fell into disuse for long periods and only resumed occasional use as a theatre, including old-time music hall shows in the late 1990's when Leisure Parcs Ltd took control of the Winter Gardens. |
