DID YOU KNOW - The average London Fringe theatre sells on average only 18 seats per performance during the week and usually only sells out shows around the weekend *.

If you truely think your production will sell 60 - 80 seats a night for a two/ three week run, Then getting a venue that will accomadate this for £1200 to £3000 a week to hire is then justified in London. Problem is if it doesn't you have lost money.

Are you paying for seats that you will never use?

Many small scale theatre companies spend most of their budget on hiring a theatre for their production with the average cost at present being about £1200 plus per week for a 50/80 seat fringe theatre in and around London. (cheapest we found was £700 and dearest £3200) 

We are a 37 to 50 seat theatre, small enough to keep costs down yet big enough to cater for your production needs.  In fact, using the average of 18 seats sold per night per London fringe theatre, we actually look very full.  Lots of our productions have full sell out runs with the correct marketing.

We are also a dedicated theatre venue, so there will be no noise coming from a public bar above or below the actual space which is a problem with some fringe theatre venues.   Our bar is only for the use of our theatre goers and shuts during the actual performance.   You are also not competing with televised football matches / quiz nights or people from the bar area shouting and making noise.  Also because of the position of the performance space in the venue, there is little outside noise.

We increase our capicity to 50 if we use our small stand up comedy stage instead for the performance and not the main floor area.  This is perfect for 1 person shows etc.  Our main space has an acting area big enough for most fringe theatre needs.

Our weekly hire rates start at £495 per week and that makes us London's cheapest fringe theatre hire. We also will consider a split for certain productions.

We are located in zone 2 (100 yards from New Cross BR) and  we are 5 mins from the DLR and on seven major bus routes and have easy free street parking every evening around our venue.  We are in a high density populated area with an excellent demographic and 40 yards from Goldsmiths University and many exciting housing developments aimed at professionals. We are 7 mins by train from London Bridge (1 stop) and the new London Overground means that places like Dalston in North London are 24 mins away!
