Venue Hire: Clarissa Farr Theatre
With a seating capacity of 231, the Clarissa Farr Theatre is an ideal setting for those hoping to stage a performing arts production or dance show and a perfect venue for conferences.
Our fully installed lighting, sound and AV systems are available to you, along with support and advice for all aspects of your event from our resident theatre staff. The Theatre has access to two changing rooms, a large holding area for performers and toilet facilities both backstage and for your audience members.
Our theatre foyer is serviced by the Gunner Bar which can be made available, fully staffed and stocked, for your performance or event. Timings and costings can be discussed as part of your quote.
As part of the hire package, we can add your event to our online Ticketsource box office. (Booking fees apply to ticket purchases made online and are governed by Ticketsource ,not by Queenswood Enterprises Ltd). Should you prefer to take that on yourselves, a seating plan can be provided to you for you to work from.
If you are hiring the Theatre you will need to factor in the cost of the Theatre Manager, who will be there to oversee the use of the technical aspects of the space and to advise/assist with the technical running of your event.
