Farnham Maltings

Dating from 1792, the building which has a delightful riverside setting was converted to an Arts Centre in 1970. It is the array of buildings the name implies. The Great Hall has a flat platform stage with proscenium, with flat or raked seating. The Tindle studio, which was created in 2005, can be used as a black box studio theatre, conference or workshop space with configurable raked seating. There are backstage rooms for bands/artists and various other studios and meeting rooms. Most famous as a jazz venue but also caters for dance and drama.
