THEATRE
The UXBRIDGE theatre (originally a church) is a unique space with character and lots of warmth. It’s a specific space designed for all entertainment and performing arts, also enjoying a ‘state of the art’ sound and lighting system that enhances the original acoustics of the building from past times. The theatre makes a fantastic hire space for any performers who want an intimate and superior place to perform. We deliver limited UXBRIDGE events but if you think we could sell-out your performance then please enquire now. 2020 is shaping up to be a great year!
