Millennium Complex

The Millennium Complex is a structure in Plymouth, England, built as a cinema in 1931. As the Gaumont Palace it provided a 2,250-seat single screen. In 1962 the stalls were converted into a dance hall, The Majestic, reducing the cinema, then operated by Odeon, to a capacity of 1,043. Both businesses closed in 1980 with the site becoming home to a roller disco. This also closed in 1987 when it was converted into a night club which operated under various names until its closure in 2004. The site was purchased by KHH Ltd in 2007, with plans to convert it into flats, these were halted by the Great Recession. In 2013 the religious broadcaster GOD TV entered into a 25-year lease on the complex, intending to convert it into a conference centre. Conversion works were slow and in 2019 the company terminated its lease. In 2020 the site was acquired by a joint venture between Nudge Community Builders, a community benefit society, and creative workspace developer Eat Work Art. The parties have applied for planning permission to convert part of the site into business units for small manufacturers.
