Guiseley Theatre

Guiseley Theatre is a characterful venue in Guiseley, Leeds, offering rooms for hire alongside its programme of theatre and community events. Organisers can choose from four spaces for meetings, rehearsals, classes, workshops, performances and social gatherings, with the historic building providing a distinctive setting for both creative and private occasions.

The largest room, Barney Colehan Hall, includes a stage and can be arranged for performances, celebrations and other gatherings. It has capacity for up to 300 people in theatre or standing layouts, with smaller capacities for banquet and cabaret arrangements. The hall is equipped with features including a PA system and stage lighting. For more intimate bookings, the Offenbach, Strauss and Lehar rooms offer alternatives for meetings, rehearsals, classes and workshops. The Offenbach room, also known as Barrett's, has a cafe and bar and can be hired exclusively.

Weddings are a particular focus. Couples can book exclusive use of the theatre and shape the day around their own plans, bringing in their preferred caterers, entertainers and decorators rather than choosing from compulsory packages. The wedding hire includes use of the licensed bar, support from theatre stewards and an event coordinator to help plan the timetable. Access is provided around the wedding day for preparations and clearing up.

The venue also welcomes visiting performance companies and provides hirer information covering technical specifications, safety and practical arrangements. Whether planning a wedding, a small meeting, a workshop or a performance, organisers can enquire about room availability, capacities and hire arrangements directly with the theatre.
