All about us

The Space Bar is housed in a Grade II listed building, a former Scottish Presbyterian Church, built around 1860. The bar is the former vestry, and downstairs the main church hall has been transformed into a theatre.

The Space Theatre is a charity and provided opportunities for local residents to engage with the arts and a range of platforms for performance and artist development. Our activities include hosting live performances (throughout the year at the Space and during the Summer at the Roof Garden), delivering workshops and performance opportunities through our participatory theatre project and bringing people together for arts festivals and special events.

The Space Bar donates all profits to The Space Theatre (Reg Charity No. 801587), by eating and drinking here you help us support our charitable aims.
