A hub for the whole family.

Whether you’ve come to see a show in one of our two theatres, or want to come and play in our indoor and outdoor play spaces, our beautiful building was designed with children in mind. Explore what’s on offer before your next visit! 

Please note an adult must accompany all children under the age of 16 at all times in our building, unless part of a child only Take Part session. Our play spaces are unsupervised. 

The Main Theatre

The Main Theatre is our bigger auditorium, and is located on the 1st floor of the building. It can seat up to 300 people and the raked seating means there’s no bad seat in the house!

There are is step-free access available for Row A of The Main Theatre, and 38 steps up to the auditorium for the rest of the rows. 

The Adventure Theatre

The Adventure Theatre is our studio space and has a smaller capacity, located on the ground floor of the theatre. The Adventure Theatre has unreserved seating and the theatre layout and capacity will change based on the needs of each show 

Y C Chan Play Den

Our play den is located on the ground floor and is open Tuesday – Sunday. Featuring lots of free activities – including activity sheets, a dressing up box, a book corner and a magnet board – the space is open to everyone and is completely free to use, no ticket required!

The Y C Chan Play Den is supported by the Chan Yin Chuen Memorial Charitable Foundation. 

Outdoor Play Space

Our outdoor play space is located just outside our Café and is open Tuesday-Sunday. Enjoy the sun, or play in our tree-house, complete with sliding pole.

Check out our herb garden, all of which are used in our Café to help garnish our fresh dishes.  

Please note the outdoor play space closes at 4pm. 

The Wimbledon Foundation Sensory Garden

Located just outside our indoor play den is our sensory garden. Filled with interactive play equipment and sensory plants, as well as bug hotels and bird houses to help protect our local wildlife. The garden also has fun games to play in the Summer including giant jenga and dominoes. 

A special thanks to The Wimbledon Foundation for their continuous support of the garden. 

The Clore Learning Studio

The Clore Learning Studio is our sensory space located on the ground floor next to the play den. This closed space is often used for our Take Part or schools workshops.

However, on a Friday is is opened up and turned into a 6+ zone: a space jam-packed with games and books specially for older children.
