Venue Hire / Conferencing

The Maltings has the best facilities in the local area for larger meetings and conferences, at very reasonable rates.

From our grand 320-seat Main House theatre to our more intimate 100-seat Studio, we have a range of spaces to suit almost every need - including our fully-licenced and very decadent Stage Door Bar.

If you are interested in holding your event at The Maltings, please contact our Box Office team on 01289 330 999 to discuss your requirements.

The Henry Travers Studio
	Capacity: 150 standing or 110 seated 'theatre-style' or 74 seated on retractable seating or 50/60 seated in 'cabaret'-style conferencing The Henry Travers Studio, refurbished in March 2011, is a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art black box studio theatre, cinema, rehearsal and meeting space. The Studio can function as a large open space (around 140m2), ideal for workshops, rehearsals, large meetings and presentations. The Studio also has fully retractable seating for up to 74, perfect for presentations, cinema screenings, theatre or talks. With a powerful digital projector and retractable large screen, the Studio is ideal for screenings or presentations. It is fully technically equipped with lighting and pa, including microphones etc, and our helpful full-time technical team are always on hand to make sure your event goes to plan. The Studio is of course used extensively for regular workshops and classes - as well as for scheduled artistic programming by the theatre, so evening availability is limited. In order to make sure you can book the Studio for a specific date, it is important to contact us around six months in advance. However, we do frequently have evenings available on other nights in the week, and it's always worth asking! The Studio generally has good availability during normal working hours (9 - 5, Monday - Friday).
