There‎ are five large band rehearsal rooms, eight small band rooms, seven rooms set up w/ piano/keyboards & two digital audio workrooms. A variety of professional music equipment can be borrowed including vocal pa, drum kits, bass & guitar amps & over 30 musical instruments. Generous donations from a number of sponsors & manufacturers such as orange amps, fret king guitars, jhs guitars & zildjian ensures numerous state-of-the art instruments & equipment

Stagecraft Workshop

A large theatre workshop, equipped w/ metalwork & woodworking machinery, is located behind the paul mccartney auditorium. It is used to construct & paint the scenery & props used in productions, as well as being a practical teaching area for the theatre & performance design & technology programmes

We have a fully flightcased set of equipment capable of being configured for a variety of location broadcast applications. This is based around a soundcraft rm1-d digital broadcast mixer, communications & cue systems & a range of playback sources including a computer based playout & scheduling system

Performance Spaces

We have two main performance spaces used for productions & teaching. The paul mccartney auditorium (pma) is a traditional proscenium arch theatre w/ full counterweight flying facilities. The pma is our largest performance space & can seat over 400 people. The sennheiser studio theatre can hold an audience of up to 96 people. Both spaces are flexible & accessible & promote the right ambience for all types of performance, whether that is a music festival, a visual feast of dance theatre, a broadway-style musical or a sumptuous costume drama. Each year, over 150 performances take place between these spaces, about half of these are to a public audience. Both theatre spaces are fully equipped & we have a large floating stock of additional lighting, sound & video equipment available for external projects. We have also recently invested in equipment that enables us to transform our café area into a venue for music gigs
