The Deco is a restored 1930s cinema and theatre located in the heart of Northampton, England. It is now operated as a venue for corporate, social and theatrical events.
The Deco was designated a Grade II listed building in 2004.[1] and originally featured a single large cinema room and theatre. Over the years the internal arrangement of the building has changed a couple of times and The Deco now consists of 3 main areas: A main 925 seat auditorium and 2 smaller 200 seater rooms, The Doré and The Glen, the latter being named after the original architect William Riddell Glen.
The Deco features as part of the Northampton Heritage Trail,[2] The Deco is now one of the largest venues for touring bands between London and Birmingham.
The Old Savoy is a privately run theatre and one of a few unsubsidised independent theatres left in the UK.
