We've got you covered!

Whilst we wait for phase two to be completed and our 150 seater theatre and 250 person events space to be completed, we're opening up 53two Studio to you! In this space we can accommodate up to 80 people seated for theatre and cinema, we can host live music events, sit down dinners, seminars and workshops, live stream productions and more. As our space develops, we're collating our tech spec to share with you, however, the space includes a lighting rig, PA system, cinema screen and projector. With a 3-phase power supply, we have enough juice to support your event. With just a sound-proof door between the studio and the fully functioning bar/café, we can provide you with everything you need.
