 The
state-of-the-art main theatre can accommodate 441 people
and has raked seating for excellent viewing. It includes
a stage, large cinema screen, Dolby surround sound and
lighting which you would expect from a well-equipped
modern theatre. The more intimate studio theatre can
house up to 145 people in luxurious cinema seating,
again with state-of-the-art facilities. The Gallery
has an exhibition programme incorporating a diversity
of art forms by artists of regional, national and international
standing.
