Our legendary live venue, which has hosted global superstars including David Bowie, Kate Bush and The Rolling Stones, and staged sell-out runs from comedians Michael McIntyre and Billy Connolly, has revealed a new high-tech flooring system which is now available to book for a diverse range of events, from awards ceremonies and weddings, to cutting-edge product launches and fashion shows.

The auditorium provides a stunning backdrop to any event. Originally designed as an Art Deco cinema, this versatile space seamlessly fuses high-tech sound and lighting with 1932 grandeur. The plasterwork and cornicing is a work of art but it’s fully operational Compton pipe organ that really steals the show.
