From the Wikipedia article

The Weymouth Pavilion, formerly the Ritz, is a theatre in Weymouth, Dorset, England. The complex contains a 988-seat theatre, 600-capacity ballroom known as the Ocean Room, the Piano Bar restaurant, Ritz Cafe, and other function and meeting rooms. The original pavilion, constructed in 1908, was destroyed in a fire in 1954, and the current theatre was built in its place in 1958. It was owned and operated by Weymouth & Portland Borough Council until 2013 and is now operated by a not-for-profit Community Interest Company. The theatre is located at the end of The Esplanade between Weymouth Harbour and Weymouth Beach.
