Dimensions: 11.9m x 6.8m
Capacity: 70 seated / 85 standing / 22 for seated workshop


Performance Space

WHALE Performance SpaceThe Performance Space encompasses a 6.5m x 6.8m wooden stage, with a open seating area (6.8m x 7.6m). With a lighting rig, sounds system and curtains, the stage can be used for performances, dance, drama and music. The open seating area is usually set up in a ‘canteen’ format, with tables and benches, but can easily be reconfigured to create a seated audience area. The Performance Space is also suitable for screenings, and can be set up to back project with our lightweight projection screen.

The Performance Space is connected to the kitchen so is also particularly suitable for events involving self catering or meals. Large double doors exit the Performance Space into the WHALE Community Garden, and can be set up to accommodate a marquee or outside eating events such as barbecues, if agreed in advance.

Maximum capacity = 40 seated, 60 standing
Further technical spec available on request.
