Seating approximately 200, this is one of only about six amateur venues in the country with flying facilities for scenery. Sixteen flying lines were recently replaced and an extra eight lines will be added in the near future, as funds become available. As well as the new flying system, the theatre has recently been repainted and has new heating, a new Box Office, new hall curtains and new main tableau curtains, plus tiered seating. The raised stage has also been resurfaced.
The theatre, which is used for performances by several local amateur companies and a Theatre School, is on the upper level of a large building opened in 1924. There is also a lower hall with further rooms available for rehearsals.
closest train station is Fratton
