Sadler’s Wells: the Main Auditorium

Playing host to some of the world’s greatest dance artists, our 1,500 seat auditorium is equipped with advanced theatre technology, ensuring unbeatable technical service – everything from computer controlled flying equipment and motorised acoustic panels to state of the art sound and lighting controls. Scenery and equipment are unloaded straight onto the stage through lorry-accessed dock doors. The performance area of the stage measures 15m x15m, giving ample room for spectacular presentations and impactful back projection.

During the daytime, the theatre is a modern meetings facility, playing host to some of the UK’s most prestigious businesses. Every seat gives an excellent view of the stage. The front 4 rows may be removed to form an orchestra pit. For smaller events, the second circle can be hidden from view, reducing the capacity to 1,000 or 600 seats.

Our fantastic technical team – who work with some of theatre’s most demanding stars – will advise on the best possible use of our lighting, sound and AV equipment to give your presentation real stand-out.

Lillian Baylis Studio

The Lilian Baylis is one of our most popular theatre spaces for conferences, seminars and workshops, as well as performances and film screenings.

Recently refurbished with the latest sound and light equipment and acoustic enhancements, the smallest of our theatres combines state-of-the-art events facilities with real theatre atmosphere. It’s a stimulating and intimate venue with a uniquely flexible design.

Retract the seating at the touch of a button to present the theatre as a blank canvas for cabaret style meetings, private dining, drinks receptions, seasonal parties and our own club nights.

Mezzanine

Sadler’s Wells’ striking glass frontage makes a bold statement, part sleek urban edifice, part elegant showcase for the galleried levels behind.

Inside the building, event spaces composed over three floors create real impact. The Mezzanine level features movable acoustic walls, creating three discrete function rooms or a spacious reception area. Workshops, boardroom meetings, training events, press launches and lunch events are well accommodated in the modern, light and airy function rooms with natural daylight and full AV facilities as standard.
