Background

History

The venue was designed in 1820 by Archibald Simpson, a notable Aberdeen architect, and cost £11,500 when it was originally constructed in 1822. It was opened to the public as a concert hall in 1859. On 28 September 1896, the building hosted the first cinema screening in Aberdeen, which featured footage of Highland and serpentine dancing along with scenes of Westminster Bridge, a coronation and a workshop. The building was renovated in the 1980s. It was closed for further extensive renovation in 2016 with a £9 million investment, and reopened in December 2018.
