Your Community Event, Your Way
South Hill Park Arts Centre has a number of spaces for hire that are perfect for community groups and productions. Whether you are seeking somewhere to host a weekly group, looking for a rehearsal space, or want a venue for your community production – we have the perfect space for you.
Our mansion rooms are ideal for weekly group practices – and are already well-used by organisations including Artemis College and Blackeyed Theatre.
Our 325-seat Wilde Theatre, and more intimate 50-seat Studio Theatre, are well equipped and extremely popular with local performance groups including Park Opera, East Berkshire Operatic Society (EBOS) and the Lynette Stephenson Academy of Dance, who hire them for their regular public performances.
