A vibrant venue
Escape the office dramas this lunchtime and lose yourself in another at our Lunchbox Theatre, or come along to one of our vibrant evening events. The Bridewell Bar is open for every performance; with its own programme of events and exhibitions it is also a venue in its own right.
Lunchbox Theatre
What’s Lunchbox? It’s a great opportunity for you to leave your desk and enjoy a bite of culture with your lunch. You can bring your own lunchbox or you can buy sandwiches, snacks, coffee or beer from our Café Bar. Performances start at 1pm prompt and are about 45 minutes long. We have everything from classics to brand new pieces by up and coming writers.
