May Hall

May Hall is a versatile performance and events venue located within the extensive Trent College campus in Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire. Designed as a contemporary theatre space, it offers organisers a well-equipped setting for performances, talks, presentations, ceremonies, conferences and a wide range of private or community events.

The hall features retractable seating and can accommodate audiences of up to around 500 guests, making it suitable for both large-scale productions and more adaptable event formats. Its theatre-style layout provides a strong environment for stage performances, musical events, lectures, award ceremonies and corporate presentations, while the flexible seating arrangement allows the space to be tailored to different production and audience requirements.

May Hall forms part of a wider campus with additional facilities available through Trent College’s hospitality and lettings service. Organisers may therefore be able to combine the theatre with meeting rooms, function spaces, sports facilities, hospitality services and residential accommodation during school holiday periods. This makes the venue particularly useful for organisations planning multi-day programmes, educational events, residential activities or events requiring several complementary spaces.

The venue is positioned close to Nottingham and Derby, with convenient access from the surrounding road network. Its location within a 45-acre school campus provides a spacious setting away from the busiest city-centre environments, while the wider site offers scope for supporting activities and event logistics. May Hall is available for external hire, subject to availability, and the dedicated lettings team can advise on suitable spaces, arrangements and pricing. It is a strong option for organisers seeking a dedicated theatre venue with flexible facilities and the backing of an established educational campus.
