Leas Cliff Hall is Kent's premier entertainment venue. It has played host to some of the best music acts such as Ozzy Osbourne, Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, Mcfly, Status Quo, to name a few. It was built in 1927 and has been refurbished several times in its long and colourful history
Very unique. You enter through a pagoda like structure containing a coffee shop. There are some grand stairs that you walk down to enter the lobby level which also contains balcony seating. You then go down another set of stairs to reach the main stage. It's sort of a grand old edifice in partial decay all built into the cliff. You can descend yet another level to some meeting or banquet halls.

Always a good venue. The biggest problem is car parking which is pot luck. sometime you can get parked close by in nearby roads but you have to get there early or you may have to drive round looking for a space.

Really lovely venue but £18.10 for 2 singles is crazy cheaper at the 02 arena, and very hot inside no air conditioning :(
