If we sound like the perfect location for you, please do get in touch, we would be only too happy to hear from you.
Bacon Theatre
The impressive Bacon Theatre completed in 1991 and built to a very high standard, boasts excellent sightlines and state-of-the-art facilities, seating an audience of 550 people. It is named after Mr Christopher Bacon, headmaster of Dean Close School from 1979-1998, who fundraised tirelessly to build his dream.
There is a huge green room below stage with two back stage staircases plus an orchestra pit.
The theatre is used to stage many performances by Dean Close School pupils throughout the year as well as hosting a large range of private hire shows and concerts. The Bacon Theatre has its own website which can be found here.
Tuckwell Amphitheatre
The School also has the beautiful Greek style, woodland amphitheatre, The Tuckwell, which is nestled in a secluded corner of the School close to the sports hall and can accommodate 300 for our lively Open-air Theatre Festival events.
Helen Porter Hall
Previously known as the Prince Michael Hall and commonly referred to as the music school, HPH is another incredibly versatile venue.
Opened in 1997, HPH is a vibrantly designed 120-seat recital venue, that can also double up as a more intimate hall space for smaller functions and events. The surrounding practice rooms and classrooms make excellent break-out spaces and there are also office spaces on the first floor.
Centenary Hall
Located in Dean Close Preparatory School, the hall is a well-equipped and very versatile theatre venue.
With an impressive entrance, elegant atrium and breakout rooms in close proximity, this is the ideal space for small to medium-scale conferences, receptions and performances.
