The Apollo Theatre in Ardwick Green, Manchester was built as a Cinema in 1938 by Peter Cummings & Alex Irvine.

The auditorium is in the Art Deco style with a Horseshoe Gallery and in its present form can accommodate 2,634 people seated, and around 3,500 standing.

In the 1970s the Theatre was modernised and as well as Film presented Variety performances and Pantomime. The Theatre has since been converted to a live music Venue but is still largely intact.
