The 1930s art deco Theatre is flexible to accommodate rehearsals, technical rehearsals, workshops, conferences, events and public performances*.

The 280-seat art deco Theatre is fitted with a cinematic projector and screen, full lighting rig and PA system. Technical support is also available by arrangement.

*Artsadmin does not currently have the capacity to act as a receiving venue except under specific circumstances, and are unable to offer box office or marketing support for performances that are not part of our programme.

FoH and theatre tech staff can be hired in to support hires on a case by case basis depending on need and availability. Hire of the lighting rig is at additional cost and depends on the availability of a technician to induct your team into its use and oversee any modifications.
