Our Spaces
After four years of planning and refurbishment under the guidance of architect Rob Cruwys, it opened The Gate doors in September 2004.
The Grand Theatre, formerly an upper section of the church, is now a spectacular performance space seating up to 350 on the original wooden pews which now span a raked gallery floor. The architectural beauty of the original church provides an area to inspire performers and offers an intimate setting for audiences.
The Dance Studio still features the original intricately carved pulpit and elaborate columns, adding character to the highly functional dance space.
Two Exhibition Galleries are housed in The Gate, the first around a wonderful glazed screen and curved pew (originally the front entrance to the church), the other constructed against the original exterior stone wall which is still visible.
A stylish Cafe Bar has been formed in the original schoolroom, the oldest part of the building dating back to 1896.
