St Annes Palace

The Palace was built in 1900 for the St. Annes Public Hall Company at a cost of £11,000 and was called St Annes Public Hall and Assembly Rooms. It had a seating capacity of 800 with a stage, dressing rooms and was licensed for dramatics and musical events. In 1922 it was renamed The Palace Cinema and Cafes. It had a seating capacity for 1050 people, cafes, shops and a Masonic Hall on the ground fl

oor. The restaurant had seating for 450 and a concert hall with accommodation for 600 on the first floor. In 1925 the St. Annes Palace Building was sold to the Blackpool Tower Co. for £40,000. The Tower Company continued to operate the cinema until the late 1950`s when the building was sold to Lytham St. Annes Masons who converted the upper floor to a Masonic suite and the ground floor to retailing. This beautiful building is now available for private and community events - wedding receptions, christenings, birthday parties - you name it and we can accommodate it with our on-site catering and brand new bar.
