About this space

Theatre, a theatre in an Event Space at Howler, is a purpose-built performance room separated from the venue’s open bar and garden areas.

Design: Theatre space has dark finishes, heavy stage curtains and an exposed industrial ceiling that concentrates attention toward the front. The lighting is low and directional and the layout keeps sightlines focused on the performance area.

Features: Theatre includes a professional PA system and speaker rig, in-room Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The space supports projection and a lectern for presentations. Theatre permits own music and BYO DJs subject to the venue's noise restrictions and provides step-free guest access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Promoters and creative collectives seeking a compact, performance-focused room for standing music sets or seated presentations in a relaxed, social format.

What guests say: Theatre's sound setup delivers strong audio and clear sightlines during shows. The space operates with attentive staff and visible security for busy events.
