Pleasure Gardens Theatre
The Pleasure Gardens Theatre was a theatre in Folkestone in Kent. It was opened in 1886 in a building that had previously been constructed as an Exhibition Hall in 1851. It was later converted into a cinema before closing in 1964.[1]
In the interwar years several plays premiered there prior to West End runs including Dorothy Brandon's 1923 hit The Outsider.[2] The following year Sutton Vane's Falling Leaves was first staged at Folkestone.
