Freddie's Nightclub was in the Market Place, Aylesham Village, Kent and opened in around 1965.

Aylesham was a mining village. Freddie's had opened as The New Cinema on Saturday, November 2, 1935 by Mr. L.C. Ellson MC, the manager of Snowdown Colliery. It was owned by Mr. F. Holes from London and Mr. Arthur B. Chipper from Margate, Kent. The cinema had a capacity of 650.

The New Cinema closed around 1965 and became a bingo club and nightclub called Freddie's. 

Known acts to have played here were:

Billy and The Heroes
Life 'n' Soul

Freddie's was later demolished and is now the Aylesham Medical Centre.
