Whether you’re planning a conference, team away day, AGM, or awards ceremony, our spaces are designed to help your event run smoothly. From the Main Theatre to our flexible breakout rooms, you’ll find everything you need to bring people together, spark ideas and create a memorable experience.
Our performance spaces come equipped with full lighting and sound systems, and our technical team are on hand to support presentations, panel discussions and large-scale company gatherings. If you’re hosting a seminar, workshop, or training session, our non-performance spaces offer bright, modern rooms with air-conditioning, high-speed WiFi and AV options ready to go.
Need somewhere more informal? Our café bar and upstairs bar provide comfortable settings for networking, team sessions or relaxed end-of-day socials. Catering is available too, so your guests can enjoy great food and drink without leaving the building.
And thanks to our central Colchester location—around 50 minutes from London by train—your delegates can arrive with ease.
