Just a short walk from our School you’ll find the 58-seat, proscenium stage Banham Theatre. Also close by is our Workshop Theatre building, which is home to our theatre studies modules and contains several studios and a large multi-configuration performance space with a retractable 84-person seating bank.
The Workshop Theatre building also houses dressing rooms, a stage workshop for constructing props and sets, a technical suite for recording, mixing and editing sound and video, and a wardrobe department with an extensive costume collection and facilities for making and mending.
