Second Space

Flexible, accessible and stylish.

Located off our main foyer, the Second Space is a black box theatre ideal for performances, conferences, or standing events. The space has a capacity of 136 in end-on theatre style but can hold up to 190 depending on layout.

The space features a modern projector and a cinema-style screen, which can be used with support from Cast’s in-house technical team, available for an additional fee. The foyer area makes an excellent breakout or refreshment space.

Available from £675 plus VAT. 

Please note: This is a performance space and availability may be limited. We recommend booking 9–12 months ahead.
