1911 to 2011 - Celebrating 100 years of entertainment
2011 will be a very special year for the Winter Gardens as it celebrates its 100th Birthday.
Thanet Leisureforce in conjunction with Thanet District Council are launching an appeal fund to raise money for this much loved landmark. The appeal funding is aimed at providing funds for essential works to the building prior to the celebrations in August 2011.
Leader of Thanet District Council, Cllr Sandy Ezekiel said: "Celebrating 100 years will be a fantastic achievement for the Winter Gardens. It's a well loved landmark and has seen a huge variety of entertainment and special events held there over the years. It would be great to see this appeal fund raise the money needed to renovate and improve the building to ensure that the centenary can be celebrated in style! I hope to see lots of people out in support in September."
