The Space has been developing as an Arts Centre serving the community over the last seven years. The building started life as a temperance hall in 1879 and has had a chequered history since then! There are plans to reburbish the building in the near future and develop the programme and marketing of events. Currently, The Space runs a proportion of the programme, including the film club, but hirers and promoters determine much of the programme. As you can see by our What’s On section there is a good mix of performance events and workshops.

Here is a brief overview of the facilities we currently have available to hire:

The Main Hall

Accommodates 200-standing/153 sitting. It has a wooden floor, an adjustable stage, a lighting rig, customer operated CD playback system, projector and 16' screen and piano. There is a small dressing room adjoining the stage and a bar, run by The Prince Albert Pub, situated in one corner of the hall. Seating can be arranged in rows or cabaret style with chairs and tables.

Recently refurbished, the Long Room is an exciting new exhibition space that is also great for smaller events, meetings, rehearsals and workshops. It measures 12m x 5m approx. and has a wooden floor. It accomodates up to 50 standing. For information/bookings for art exhibitions contact: Sue Bearder at The Space on 01453 767576 or e-mail info@the-space.org

All events are included, where possible, on our website. A team of volunteers are usually available to help with Front of House and a Duty Manager will be present at ticketed events.
