First things first - this place is a death-trap. Simple as that. And it's quite likely to be worse now than it was when I went. But as I have a bit of an obsession about redundant old cinemas and theatres I left all common sense at the entrance.
The building still shows signs of its grand past...
Not quite the theatre @SpiderMonkey and I intended to visit, but after finding no way into another nearby cinema we thought we'd give the Grand a go. Having not seen anything from this place for quite some time we were pretty surprised to find a way in.
Built on the site of a former Circus...

Nice place but smelt a bit.

Evening kids,
another one from a little belgium trip a couple months back, got to admit the photos i saw of this place made it look a lot better than it actually was if i honest, was a little bit underwhelming, the projector is super cool, (especially as it has a tiny bit of film in it!) and...

Visited this one with telf. Gronk and woopashoopaa was a nice little explore but be warned the floors here are like walking on memory foam matress. Managed to cover the whole theatre and up onto the roof. The a box of section at the back of the theatre that had benches that looked really old...

The first attempt to visit it two years ago failed.
This summer again eight hours of driving and arrival in the middle of the night in the pouring rain. But it was worth it.

Well-known location, however rather run down compared to older photo sets I remember.
We didn't spend much time there, which annoys me even more, because as seen in the other thread, there's a glorious entrance that was missed.
Anyway, here's the haul...

Greetings OS, me again. Just got back from an ace tour with AndyK, Kriegaffe and a non-member. We also met up with Vals Darkroom for the weekend (Nice to meet you
:) ) We visited some sweet locations and although this one has been a bit trashed it's still a nice place with a fair bit to offer...
Evening all,
Part of our trip in August to Bulgaria to visit Buzludzha, we visited this old theatre.
No history found but a nice explore while waiting for the coach parties to leave the mountain and the roadblocks to be lifted.
Thanks for looking in.
Hey again. Slowly getting on with these Euro reports! Here is another lovely one but from France this time, I loved it here mostly because of the chapel and the theatre parts. There were also some nice stone corridors.
From what i read up it was originally a seminary and later on during WW2 it...
Hey again! Visited this one with Goldie, feel really lucky to have done it at this time because many people soon after found it sealed and completely inaccessible. Beauty of a place but at the same time a death trap.. Dry rot central!
Only certain areas i could get to to take photos for fear of...
