The Minster Hall / Minster Theatre is our largest space, with a proscenium arch stage, lighting and sound system, sprung wooden floor and, when required, a fully stocked and staffed bar.

As a spacious Hall, it's perfect for classes (especially exercise/dance), conferences, dance events, exhibitions, fairs & markets, meetings, rehearsals, social events and more. Mics and PA available, and with a professional projector & screen installation it's also ideal for video presentations and film shows.
