The Theatre Bar represents the greatest change in the Foundation since Victorian times – what was once a dark, damp, steamy laundry is now a quirky and charming bar. With tables nestled amongst the original wooden washing machine and spin dryer this space is a hidden gem, perfect for pre and after show drinks or private parties.

The bar has a late licence and can be set up according to requirements. It is accessible via short flight of stairs or a small lift for wheelchair users, with toilets on the same level. Please enquire about capacity.
