The Jean Kershaw
Auditorium
The
Main Theatre has an intimate, friendly atmosphere with exceptional acoustics.
The raked seating can accommodate 138 (inc two wheelchair spaces) with a stage
area and a full size cinema screen with digital projection facilities. Please
note, any event in our auditorium which included tech equipment, stage lighting
or sound equipment requires a HAC technician to be in attendance for Health
& Safety.
The
floor area is - 7.5m (25’) x 7m (23’). Height from floor to ceiling 6m (20’)
HAC Studio Bar
As the name suggests, this room serves more
than one purpose. It is used as a bar with tables and chairs arranged around it
and exhibition pictures on its walls. But it has an excellent wooden
floor, suitable for dancing, and so, cleared of tables and chairs; it is turned
into a ballet studio or a venue for ballroom dancing. Then again it can be
turned into
a venue for small-scale theatre or musical events – The studio is an excellent
workshop space and meeting room. It is well lit through a series of French
doors on its east facing side, that open out onto a courtyard garden with
further chairs and tables for the outdoor area.
The Studio Bar has an attached
Kitchen/license bar with shutters which open directly into the Studio Bar. This
can be hired, alongside HAC Staff for serving alcohol or refreshments for your
event.
The floor area is 9m(25ft) x 7.25m (24ft). Maximum capacity 55 seated.
(If
you require the Kitchen/Bar for an event in the auditorium, you must then hire
the Studio Bar for the same hire time).

The
Dorothy Morley Room is an excellent light and spacious room perfect for
meetings, talks, classes and small dance/movement groups. It can accommodate 30
