Hire Sudbury Arts Centre

Our venue provides the perfect space for concerts, exhibitions, markets, beer festivals and more. We can accommodate large corporate events or smaller gatherings like talks and presentations, and we are available as a location for film and radio.

With standing capacity for up to 450, Sudbury Arts Centre is available to hire for performances, private events, exhibitions, filming and recordings. Due to our busy programme and the flexible nature of what we deliver as an arts, heritage and community venue, availability is limited..

Our own in-house events take priority, followed by those of our key partners, and due to limited space in the diary, we approach each hire enquiry on a case by case basis, requesting details of your proposed event to ensure it complements our existing programme and aligns with our ethos. Please complete all areas on our hire enquiry form and we will be in touch.

Sudbury Arts Centre has a variety of venue hire spaces. From the main floor space with a seated capacity of up to 250 and a standing capacity of 450, to the South Chapel for smaller talks or meetings, and a fully accessible mezzanine floor. The space is flexible, and with the benefit of having no pews in this former church, a large open plan space which can be utilised in a variety of ways.
