STOCKPORT PLAZA SPRING & SUMMER 2015 TED DOAN General Manager

In October 1932 a vision was born for Stockport and the North West in the form of a Super Cinema and Variety Theatre that would evoke the glamour of the era with its sumptuous surroundings, highest possible attention to detail in its customer care and an eclectic mix of screen and stage presentation, supported by the finest Café dining experience which we continue to this day with the addition of our events and wedding facilities, details of which can be obtained by contacting our Events and Hospitality Manager Vicky Cruse on 0161 480 3818

Your Plaza Super Cinema and Variety Theatre hosts the biggest stage productions including our sensational family pantomime Cinderella, musicals, stage plays, comedians, concerts and family shows alongside satellite broadcasts, current and classic films presented in their correct ratio and format, ensuring the golden classics can be seen on the big screen as they should be enjoyed.

With our ongoing maintenance and restoration appeal dedicated to restoring and maintaining Stockport’s 1932 Art Deco Super Cinema and Variety Theatre, The Plaza is acclaimed as the UK’s finest example of its genre and a building of international significance.

Your support in joining us for a future event helps us preserve this magnificent building for future generations and enables us to serve you for many more years to come and I look forward to hopefully welcoming you in person to the Plaza in Stockport in the very near future.

Patrons of the Plaza: Leslie Phillips CBE; Sabrina; The Right Honourable, The Baroness Bakewell DBE; & Ken Dodd OBE.
