This year sees the Palace Theatre Newark celebrate its centenary and to mark the occasion the venue is running a series of special events. On Monday 5th July 1920, the venue opened its doors as a picture house built by local entrepreneur Emily Blagg. Having opened Newark’s first cinema, the Kinema on Baldertongate, in 1913 as well as building The Park and Lime Grove, she made the decision to expand on her small empire and knocked down the Chauntry House to create her vision of the perfect art deco theatre.
