The Pavillion has served Bute?s residents and visitors as everything from grand ballroom and concert hall to wedding venue, civic centre, family entertainment venue and sports hall. Over the years it has hosted tea dances and big band concerts, community pantomimes, rock concerts, conferences, arts festivals, football and boxing tournaments,?horticultural shows, birthday parties, political conferences and conventions.?<\/p><p>After eight decades of continuous and sustained use on its seafront location,?this iconic edifice is showing its age,?and in 2000 Rothesay Pavilion was placed on the 'buildings at risk' register requiring complete restoration and refurbishment to ensure its future. In 2013 a rescue plan was launched by owners Argyll and Bute Council and a new ?Rothesay Pavilion? charity formed to assist with the restoration project and take over the management and programming of the building on completion. ?

Really excited to share this first video trailer - a huge thanks and love to all people who took part so far.
