Closed as a cinema in 1964 it then remained vacant for 15 years before being bought by Terry Lake and converted into the Cabaret Club.
From Mike Petty's Newmarket Scrapbook:- "5th November 1981 - Newmarket Cabaret Club has found the right recipe for success. People pay an inclusive charge which entitles them to a three-course meal including gammon, chicken or scampi for around £10 for the whole evening. There is a resident band and compère and a top-of-the-bill show with stars such as The Tremeloes, Diane Solomon, Danny Williams, Cannon and Ball and The Searchers." On the demise of the Cabaret Cub is changed to De Niro's Night Club and Pacino's Wine Bar Followed by many identities |
