Ocean Theatre
Our theatre is available to hire for many uses. Past clients include schools, conferences, film festivals, fashion shoots, and live shows. Each event is supported by our expert team of technical crew, front of house, and ticketing staff.
The Ocean Theatre
A large, modern space with 180 to 198 raked seats when laid out in theatre style for shows, films or conferences. With a sprung stage floor area measuring 10m x 10m plus wing space. Without theatre style seating, the space measures 11.2m x 17.7m. This opens up possibilities for higher capacity workshops and events. The theatre has a full lighting and sound rig as well as cinema projection. Most theatre hires include one technician. The space is air conditioned.
