Technical Information

General Information

The theatre has 132 raked seats (end-on) and can seat up to 240 people with extra rows added. It is used as a multi-purpose space - studio theatre, cinema and a venue for a wide range of workshops and meetings.

Please inform us of your requirements as soon as possible to enable us to provide the most suitable level of service. This is essential for productions that have special or unusual requirements, and those with effects requiring advance notice.

All equipment toured into the venue must comply with current health and safety regulations, and be suitably tested.

We have listed our standard range of equipment available to visiting artists or as part of a hire arrangement for the building.

Please contact Andrew with technical specifications at least two weeks before your performance in order for him to plan properly for your event.
