Created to host this year’s pantomime while the Palace Theatre undergoes refurbishment, the purpose-built auditorium brings tiered seating, clear views of the stage and a high-quality sound system to the Galleon.
Greig Russell, Lifestyles Strategic Lead, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome residents into this incredible new auditorium space for the very first time this season. While it was built to ensure our festive panto season can continue seamlessly during the Palace Theatre’s exciting refurbishment, this opening weekend shows just how versatile the venue truly is.
Bringing high-quality cinema experiences right into the heart of the Galleon Centre—alongside a unique swim and film package—offers a brilliant weekend of entertainment for film buffs and local families alike. It's a perfect preview of what's to come.”
