This follows decisions by the chain to evaluate locations in the South West that are nearing the end of their lease agreements and require costly maintenance. Located prominently on Corporation Street, the venue occupies a historic building that once housed the Gaumont Theatre, later transformed into the Odeon Cinema during the 1960s before becoming a bingo hall.
