The Beach Ballroom is an art deco building on the beach boulevard of Aberdeen, Scotland.[1] It was built in 1926, and is a Category B listed building.[2] It is noted for its dance floor which is supported by 1,400 steel springs.[3][4]
Famous acts to appear at the Beach Ballroom include the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Who,[5] the Small Faces, Cream, Joe Loss, Ken Mackintosh and more recently the Ordinary Boys and Twin Atlantic.[6] Like many buildings in Aberdeen, it is made from granite.
The Beach Ballroom is owned and operated by Aberdeen City Council[7] and has a webcam that faces south along the beach towards Footdee.[8] The Ballroom is connected to the more modern Beach Leisure Centre via an indoor walkway.
The main dance hall is octagonal and originally had a domed ceiling, though this has since been covered over with a suspended ceiling. The smaller Star Ballroom extension was opened in June 1963.[9]
The Ballroom underwent a refurbishment from 2008 to April 2010.[10][11]
