The Studio - seating capacity 174 cabaret style, 200 theatre style, 300 standing

The Studio is an adaptable small theatre / rehearsal space adjacent to the Alhambra main house.  It is available for hire for a wide range of uses including small scale theatre, cabaret, rehearsals, meetings, conferences and exhibitions.  It is also used by Bradford Theatres for workshops and educational activity plus rehearsals for productions at our large scale venues.

The Studio is home to Bradford's favourite comedy club, A Bag of Quips and occasional touring solo comedy shows. 

Please note that we do not programme professional events in the Studio on a co-promotion basis, however the venue is available to hire.
