The Dalkeith Theatre opened in 1954 with “A Man and a Woman”. In 1968 the theatre was completely refurbished and re-opened as the Village Continental Cinema, and by 1969 had been renamed Village Cinema.

The 688-seat Village Cinema was sold to a local supermarket (name unknown), but films were still presented for some time until the cinema was closed while plans were drawn up first to turn it into a triple cinema, including putting a new cinema on the roof, then- less ambitiously- to turn it into a twin cinema.

This finally opened on 21st November 1996, as a twin cinema, but at first with only one screen in operation. It was known as the Revue, and by 1999, both screens were in operation. A bookshop cafe opened, specialising in cinema and related publications.

The Revue Cinema closed in (2002?)
