The single screen Strand Cinema originally boasted over 700 seats. It opened in 1936 and was independently operated by the Warsop Theatre Co. Ltd. It ceased to function as a cinema in 1961 and became the Strand Bingo Club and it ran until October 2011. The building has a facade of hand-made brick, with a central stone feature. In March 2011 an application was lodged to demolish it to make way for a Tesco supermarket. However, in July 2011 the application was withdrawn due to local objections. Although a new application to demolish it and build a supermarket has now been approved, it has remained untouched, probably due to the reluctance of supermarket operators to expand their portfolio/s at present? The town centre lies to the right and Church Warsop in the opposite direction.
