Hire Belsize Theatre

Belsize Theatre is available for hire for theatrical productions, musicals, concerts, comedy, corporate events, film shoots and community gatherings. Our flexible 300-seat auditorium combines the beauty of a Grade I listed Victorian church with the technical specification of a modern producing house.

Configurable Layouts

Four ways to stage the space, up to 300 seats.

The north side of the nave adapts to four core configurations — from a thrust stage that wraps the audience around the action, to in-the-round, full stage wings, and a retractable flex mode for standing events, exhibitions and dance.
