Plaza Bingo Dorchester, Trinity Street Background And History
The history of Plaza Bingo bucks the trend, as the premises' usage has gone around full circle, from cinema, to bingo, and back to cinema - which is quite rare. If bingo legislation changes it could even go another round of bingo - fingers crossed!
The cinema was opened in 1933, with a seating capacity of 968, which reflects Dorchester's small population. The club lasted 25 years until it was closed in about 2003.

Manager's Memories
In the year 1997 I was manager for the welcome bingo club. I worked for the owners having known them from york (my home town) Barry smith then moved to Dorchester, and the co- owner moved me to Banbury. I had good relations with the customers. Lots of promotions, I even took two to go on a concord flight from heathrow and back in time to play bingo.
