Theatre
The Wharf has been described as the Jewel of Tavistock town, and we are very proud of our theatre. We have many productions throughout the year, and you can book the theatre for your own productions. The auditorium is air conditioned, and can accommodate 200 people and the large stage with both rear and side access is ideal for all types of productions. We have a comprehensive theatre lighting system with experienced technicians, and our sound system with engineer and technicians is second to none.
The theatre has two large dressing rooms with showers and multiple dressing areas and all the backstage facilities for both small and major productions.
