As we get a high number of enquiries to perform at The Gate we ask that a proposal form is filled in and emailed to our bookings team. With that information, we are then able to consider your performance and where it may fit into our schedule. We try and programme a balance of professional and amateur performances across different genres so that we can bring a varied and interesting programme to our community.

Our theatre space can accommodate up to 350 depending on the layout and type of event.

The cafe bar is a relaxed informal space that is perfect for smaller gigs, comedy evenings and social events.

The Loft is our creative space and can hold up to 25, perfect for small community groups, and meetings.

We have a large studio which can accomodate classes or rehearsals.

Our bookings team meet regularly to consider all proposals carefully, taking into consideration all information submitted. We aim to respond to your initial enquiry within 5 workings days.

Once your booking is confirmed a booking form/contract will then need to be signed by both parties and a 30% deposit paid to secure your booking.

Once your contract has been agreed and deposit paid you can then start marketing your event. We advise you don’t advertise before an agreement is made as your booking is not confirmed before then and may not go ahead. The Gate is happy to discuss with you how we can best support you in marketing your event.

We are able to sell tickets for your event through our website and online platforms. We can discuss tickets being sold through other channels if that is necessary.

We are able to provide a competent sound and lighting engineer to manage the technical elements of your event. We will discuss your requirements at the time of booking and confirm the fee. Once the booking is confirmed we will send you a full production guide with the venue specs included. Any additional equipment can be agreed in advance for an additional fee.
