About this space

The Performance Space is the Wheeler Centre’s main event venue, accommodating up to 230 guests. Equipped with extensive audiovisual facilities and a fully furnished green room, it is suitable for panels, lectures, presentations, awards ceremonies, and live events.

The space is most commonly configured in a theatre-style layout to maximise capacity, but a movable partition can be used to create a smaller, more intimate setting for events of up to 50 guests.
