Information for potential operators
Historically we ran The Harlequin Theatre in-house. We are currently exploring whether the management and running of the theatre – and / or a second venue in Redhill – might be done by a third party operator(s) going forward.
We are inviting expressions of interest from experienced and innovative operators for:
- The Harlequin Theatre – a long-established and well-loved 494-seat performing arts venue.
- Unit 5 at The Rise – a newly developed, highly visible and versatile performance space with approximately 200 seats, located in Redhill’s premier leisure development.
With strong audience demand, central locations, growing local demographics, and significant investment in regeneration and infrastructure, these are unique business opportunities to contribute to Redhill’s evolving cultural identity.
These venues are available as standalone opportunities or a dual offer, giving operators flexibility to align with their expertise and ambitions.
We welcome expression of interest from potential operators, from:
- Theatre management organisations
- Charitable or art trusts
- Commercial venue operators
- Consortiums or partnerships including Community Interest Companies (CIC)
