What we're looking for

We're primarily a space/venue for hire; we provide a sound and lighting rig, experienced technicians and can help promote your events to the Theatre's members and wider public. We also have an excellent camera and streaming set-up for video recording and streaming events.

Prices are based on how long you need for the event (incl. setup/strike), what support you need, and how large your audience will be.

About us

We're a small independent theatre that hosts a mixture of music, comedy, plays, musicals, and community events.

Musically, we host almost every genre, from experimental and abstract electronica to hard rock and punk, as well as open mic nights. Our Theatre venue seats 90, or a capacity of 100 standing. 

How to get a gig

Get in touch with us via email at info@accidentaltheatre.co.uk with an idea of the event you want to put on, and our admin team will get back to you to work out the details.

Accessibility

We have an accessible lift on the ground floor and accessible toilets on the first floor.

Access to the Theatre itself is step-free and located on the ground floor, both via the public entrance (for the audience) and the stage door (for performers, crew, etc.).

We are also open to receiving and implementing green riders.

Getting home

Botanic Train Station is just two minutes from the theatre, and taxis regularly pick up on Botanic Avenue and Bradbury Place — the two streets that meet at the corner where the theatre is located. The main bus stops in Belfast city centre, near City Hall, are about 10 minutes away.

Street view of the venue at night time, the signage is lit up by rainbow lights.
