St Donats Arts Centre

The fourteenth century tythe barn adjacent to the castle has been converted to an arts centre with a large modern addition. The addition is rather aggressively detailed but the views from the restaurant (the Glass Room) are spectacular.

Large flat-floored auditorium with a small end balcony, it has no fixed seating and seats are arranged to suit performance style. The stage has no proper grid. It is 25ft from wall to wall, there being no wing space. The depth may be varied between 8 and 20ft. There is a black serge backdrop with 4 black legs each side which can be made into a black box if required.

The centre also has an exhibition space, and the Bradenstoke Hall - a flat-floored space 24.4m x 7.9m with stage of 4.57m x 7.9m, which seats 330.
