First up is an insanely awesome 1920s Grade II listed cinema. Not only a cool place to catch a film screening, it also is host to many different live events. Although the building is undergoing renovation, each corner tells a story which is part and parcel of why this place is so magical.
You can’t go wrong with live music, especially in this venue.
