What's Inside the Barnfield Theatre?
The Barnfield Theatre has great spaces for different kinds of events.
The Main Auditorium
The main room where shows happen is called the auditorium. It has a full stage with all the lights and sound equipment. There are 289 comfortable seats. These seats were updated in 2005. They are set up on a slope so everyone can see the stage clearly. This room is perfect for plays, concerts, talks, and even big meetings.
The Clifford Room
The Clifford Room is a flexible space. It can be used as a smaller theatre or a meeting room. The seats in this room can be moved around. You can arrange them in many ways for different types of shows. For example, you can set it up for "theatre in the round" where the audience sits all around the stage. This room was renamed in 2007 after Clifford Scott. It can hold up to 80 people.
The Foyer and Gallery
The main entrance area, called the foyer, was updated in 2015. This space now has the Barnfield Theatre Front of House Gallery. It's a cool place where artists and photographers can show their work. You can often see interesting art displays here.
