Tom Thumb Theatre

The Tom Thumb Theatre is a historic 40-seaters space with a separate upstairs bar. 

There is one step to the entrance, and a ramp is available for use, with prior notice. Someone is able to assist, if prior notice is given.

The Theatre itself is on one level, but the bar is upstairs with no lift or alternative access. The Theatre is very small and dimly-lit at times.

Please see film pages for subtitle availability as this varies. Please note that subtitles can be hard to see beyond the first and second rows.

There are gender neutral toilets on both floors. 

There are no accessible toilets available on site, and parking is on-road with no designated accessible bays.
