The Bradford Playhouse has performance and rehearsal space for hire.

The Playhouse has 2 auditoria: a 290-seat (plus 4 stewards' seats) proscenium arch theatre, with circle and stalls, a 70-seat studio which, thanks to movable seating, can be laid out in any configuration, plus the bar, which occupies almost the entire floor area of the main building (less the servery, stock rooms and stairways).  As well as a licensed bar, hot drinks and confectionary are served here.  The bar provides an informal performance area as well as functioning as a meeting room.

Meetings, events, parties, weddings, conferences

Bradford Playhouse is a unique venue, full of history and character.  Whatever kind of event or activity you are planning, please contact us to discuss your needs.

Artists, arts organisations and promoters

If you have a show or work you want to promote, an event or activity you want to run, or a creative idea, we’d love to hear from you.  It's usually possible to hire one of our spaces.  Sometimes we will want to work with you, to co-produce or co-promote with you.  We also programme professional work ourselves, in all our spaces – so please contact us whatever you want to do, be it theatre, dance, music, visual art, writing, comedy/cabaret, or film.
