| The Auditorium |
|
 |
This beautifully Edwardian horseshoe style auditorium has been carefully restored to recreate the ambience and appeal of the original 1900’s theatre, whilst housing all the facilities needed to meet the demands of a conference and performance centre.
|
| During the daytime, and for a limited number of evening events, this extraordinary space is transformed into a modern meeting facility that manages effortlessly to combine stunning architecture and historical character with advanced technology and probably the best in-house sound and lighting system in the Channel Islands. |
| Designed with easy access in mind, equipment can be unloaded directly on to the stage and the generous performance area gives ample room to create spectacular events whilst comfortably allowing for back projection sets. There are also several hanging positions in the auditorium that allow for front projection should that be required. |
|
| The maximum seating capacity is 625, each with an uninterrupted view of the stage. The front row of the stalls can be removed to allow for the stage to be increased by 2m. An additional two rows can be removed to increase the stage by up to 4m, bringing your presentation even further into the auditorium. |
