Hire the Connaught Theatre
A stunning Theatre space, the Connaught Theatre is best suited to events such as company presentations and commercial filming. This venue benefits from being in the centre of Worthing town with excellent transport links within easy reach.
This venue operates daily as a Theatre and Cinema, and therefore has limited availability. The best availability will be during term time, Tuesday to Fridays between 9am and 12pm. Please check with the Hires Team for our latest availability.
Venue and stage access
The main entrance to the Connaught Theatre is at the front on Union Place. The stage is fully accessible at street level, and can be arranged with the Hires and Technical Teams.
The seating is split into stalls and balcony, with a gentle rake from the middle of the stalls and then a slightly raised balcony area. 6 wheelchair users can be accommodated on the balcony level.
Parking restrictions are in place around the Connaught Theatre, but there are parking options within easy walking distance. Please ask the hires team for more information.
