What our partners think about us… 

“I’ve worked with Squire PAC as a producer and performer and I could not be more impressed. They bring both professionalism and a human touch to what they do. They are a venue who know how to communicate well with producers, performers and audiences and their facilities are fantastic. It is rare to have such dedicated staff at all levels; from the bar staff and front of house to the techs and venue managers, you will always find professionalism and a can-do approach.” 

 

Main House

Our Main House has a seated layout with 260 capacity across the stalls and circle. Part of the stalls level can be removed and reconfigured into a flat floor, creating a flexible performance space – watch our video below.
