Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre

The Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre is a bookable event space within Northern Ballet's home in Quarry Hill, central Leeds. Its distinctive theatre setting is suited to organisers looking for a venue for conferences, presentations, dinners and receptions, with flexible layouts available for different occasions.

The 30m by 15m room can be arranged in theatre style for up to 230 guests, or set for a reception of up to 230 and a gala dinner or cabaret for up to 200. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light into the space, while blackout blinds can be used when privacy or controlled lighting is important. The venue also offers air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a hearing loop, lifts and in-house audiovisual equipment, including a projector, screen and lectern. Technical support is available for the theatre's lighting and sound systems.

Organisers can discuss catering for up to 200 people, with menus and arrangements tailored to the event's requirements and budget. Draping can be used to change the room's appearance for a special function, and the wider Northern Ballet building offers additional spaces for hire. These include dance studios, ground-floor meeting rooms and a board suite with a roof terrace, providing options for breakout sessions, smaller meetings or complementary parts of a larger gathering.

Based in Leeds's cultural quarter, the theatre is accessible by public transport and has lift access within the building. It is a practical choice for event planners seeking a well-equipped performance venue that can also host business and social functions.
