Carriageworks Theatre

The Main Auditorium is the venue's largest dedicated event and performance space. Arranged over two levels, it uses a traditional proscenium-arch theatre configuration with a substantial stage and fixed audience seating. It is equipped with theatre lighting, public-address facilities, data projection, a cinema-sized screen and technical support. The space is particularly appropriate for conferences, presentations, performances, talks, comedy, music and large community or corporate events.

The Studio is an intimate black box performance space operating a flexible configuration with a maximum capacity of 77 people. Situated on Level 4, it provides an ideal backdrop for experimental fringe theatre, spoken word poetry, stand-up comedy, new playwriting workshops, corporate seminars, and local artistic rehearsals.

The Millennium Room provides a smaller, more intimate meeting environment while retaining the historic character associated with the Electric Press building. It is particularly suitable for smaller meetings, breakout sessions, workshops, training activities and discussions where a quieter and more contained setting is required. The venue describes it as a warm and professional space for smaller groups.

Meeting Room 1 is the largest of the individually named meeting rooms. Located on the second floor, it has an airy, studio-like character and views over the Electric Press courtyard. Its larger capacity makes it particularly useful for corporate meetings, conferences, workshops, training programmes and presentations requiring more space than the smaller meeting rooms.

Meeting Room 2 combines modern meeting functionality with original Victorian architectural features, including exposed brickwork and roof beams. The bright and open environment gives the room a distinctive character compared with conventional corporate meeting facilities. It is appropriate for meetings, workshops, training, presentations and smaller conferences.

Meeting Room 3 is one of the venue's smaller meeting spaces and shares the historic character found elsewhere within the Electric Press building. Its more intimate scale makes it suitable for small meetings, breakout sessions, training activities and focused workshops. It is particularly useful when an event requires several smaller rooms alongside a larger conference or auditorium booking.

Meeting Room 4 is a mid-sized meeting and workshop room with a style similar to Rooms 2 and 3. It combines heritage architectural elements with a practical event layout. Its capacity of up to 35 delegates makes it suitable for smaller conferences, creative sessions, team meetings, training, workshops and breakout activities associated with larger events held elsewhere in the venue.

Meeting Rooms 5 and 6 are located together on the third floor. Room 5 provides views across Millennium Square and connects directly with the smaller Room 6. The rooms can therefore be useful as a combined event arrangement, with Room 5 functioning as the principal meeting space and Room 6 providing breakout, preparation or support space.
