Who We Are

The Bridge House Theatre and Warwick Hall are at the heart of the Warwick School campus, and are a focal point in the school community.

The Bridge House Theatre was opened by Dame Judi Dench in 2000, and since then it has grown into one of the area’s most popular venues. A mid-scale venue of 304 seats – it’s beautiful interior of wood and brick creates an attractive and intimate space for performance. Our audiences enjoy a wide-ranging repertoire of professional productions, presented alongside local community events and stunning performances from the students of Warwick School and our partner schools.

In 2016, we opened the Warwick Hall, replacing The Guy Nelson Hall and providing a first-class space for a wide range of events. The auditorium seats up to 1000, with enhanced acoustics and audience comfort derived from a flexible telescopic raked seating system and permanent balcony. Two new drama/dance studios offer smaller venues for performances and workshops.
