The Coates Theatre

The Coates Theatre is a performance venue at Cambourne Village College, available for community and event hire outside school hours. Its main offering is a substantial hall equipped for theatre and live performance, making it suitable for organisers planning plays, dance shows, comedy, music events and other audience-led productions. The venue’s stage facilities and theatre lighting support performances, while technical equipment and assistance can be arranged for larger events.

The college site also offers a range of rooms that organisers can book for different purposes. These include a main hall that can be arranged for seating, presentations or dining, alongside a dance and drama studio, classrooms and other halls. Depending on the space and booking, these facilities can accommodate meetings, lectures, workshops, rehearsals, community activities and private functions. The main hall includes a projector, screen and sound system, and portable staging is available. Larger or technically complex bookings can be discussed individually with the college’s community and events team.

Bookings are generally offered during weekday evenings and at weekends, subject to school use and availability. The venue is therefore suited to organisers seeking a local, flexible space for a performance, gathering or meeting, rather than a full-service event production company. Hirers should contact the college to discuss the right room, timings, technical requirements and arrangements for their event.
