Compass Auditorium
The Compass Theatre has a modern auditorium and stage (5.5 x 7.6 metres) equipped with a full range of technical facilities, including lights, sound equipment, amplifiers and speakers. The stage also includes a large screen for showing films.
The hire of the stage comes with the use of 2 dressing rooms.
The auditorium measures 11 x 11 metres and contains raked retractable seating for 158 people, with everyone guaranteed a clear view of the stage. The space also offers cabaret seating configuration, which allows for smaller audiences of up to 80 to be seated at tables for events that suit a more informal layout.
The auditorium can also be used with the seating retracted for parties and ceremonies to accommodate up to 300 people standing. With the seating retracted, this space also makes for an ideal area for events, such as band nights.
