Millennium Complex

In 1962 the stalls were converted into a dance hall, The Majestic, reducing the cinema, then operated by Odeon, to a capacity of 1,043.

In 2013 the religious broadcaster GOD TV entered into a 25-year lease on the complex, intending to convert it into a conference centre.

The parties have applied for planning permission to convert part of the site into business units for small manufacturers.

It operated throughout the Plymouth Blitz in the Second World War, except for a brief closure in March and April 1941, at the peak of the German bombing.

[6] It operated under a number of names including Club Oz, The Warehouse, The Millennium, Monroe’s, Blondz and Studio.

[6] In September 2013 a leaking gas pipe at the venue caused the evacuation of 300 people from nearby buildings and the closure of Union Street.

[8] A man, with no connection to the GOD TV project, was jailed in September 2015 on fraud charges, having persuaded investors to give him money on the pretence that he was going to open a night club on the site.

The first part of the night was an exhibition of short films on the Atlantic Project, history, cinema and the future of Union Street.

[10] In January 2019 GOD TV announced it was no longer proceeding with the conversion, having reached agreement with KKH to terminate the lease.

They had attempted, but failed, to find a partner to help fund completion or to secure an alternative tenant for the building.

A £4 million redevelopment was commenced with plans to provide business units for small manufacturers and a 1,500 capacity music venue.
