Theatre for Hire: Your Premier Venue

Space

The main hall is our largest space. It has a maximum capacity of 100 people seated (120 standing). The space has large windows with a view to the estate's garden. It is ideal for large-scale workshops, rehearsals and performances. This space has a built-in black box theatre for full scale performances and shows. Access to the open plan kitchen can come with the main hall hire for free if agreed beforehand.
The chairs in this space are not fixed, so can be arranged to suit the requirements of your event.
The Main hall is located on the ground floor and fully accessible from street level with access by both stairs and lift. The space also has a backstage room with its own toilet which can be used as a green room. However the backstage room needs to be booked separately.

Curtains

The Main Hall can be used with or without curtains. Our back walls are light grey concrete and we have black serge curtains surrounding the perimeter of the auditorium on a curtain track. Please bear in mind, having curtains or not affects the acoustics within the room.

Operating Position

Shows can operated from the technical gallery at the back of the auditorium, which provides a good view of the stage, control can also be routed from various points around the space. There are no video relays. Audio show relay can be routed backstage via discrete mics rigged per performance.

Fire Alarm Isolation

All of our performance-space fire and smoke detectors are isolatable. If using haze, smoke effects, or pyro you will be responsible for ensuring the space is isolated (both for rehearsals and performances), by informing the staff member on duty in advance. Failure to do so will result in fines as laid out in your contract.

LX

Our default rig is permanently set up in our space, which provides end on general cover in both warm and cold wash, plus RGB colour and specials.
The general rig cannot be moved or re-focussed by visiting companies without prior permission.
