Notes on venue and seating arrangements
The show is performed in our ground-floor Performance Studio. This space has hosted numerous famous Flamenco artists from both the UK and Spain over the last 6 years. The studio provides a small, extremely intimate venue, where you are only a few feet away from the performers. There is a capacity of 55 people. The room has a professional sound system and stage lighting. No food allowed in the studio.
As this is a multi-use performance space there is no raised stage, nor tiered seating. Simple chairs are laid out on the day to best suit the number who have booked to attend. The arrangement is usually in a U shape around the artists who perform in the central space, providing views from 3 directions..
Seats are not numbered or pre-allocated. We can only reserve seating on the front rows for those who notify us in advance that they have a disability or special access requirement Once we open the doors to the Studio, the audience enters in a line and everybody finds their preferred seat from those available. Please, however, be sympathetic to those with the greatest need to have a seat of their choice.
Coats and bags can be left in a temporary cloakroom upstairs, but note this room is not secure or monitored during the show, and valuables should not be left there.
