We are proud to have, under one roof, 2 unique performance spaces.
The Tavistock Room: A gorgeous small room with a capacity for about 80 people. Food is served from our delicious menu and the live show is very "unplugged" in nature with the minimum of backline and the emphasis on mesmerising intimate performances.
The Theatre: One of the most beautiful stages and auditoriums in the world. Modelled on Shakespeares Globe Theatre, this round room, with domed ceiling also has an impressive Elizabethan Wooden gallery running all the way around. There is capacity for 250 people between seated and standing and again, food is served throughout the night.
Both rooms have a sound system and production team that is second to none.
The Live music shows take place Mon-Thurs every week (Wednesday in the Tavistock room and Monday, Tuesday, Thursday in the Theatre) and all our gigs are webcast from the main Bedford website from 8.30pm GMT.
