Q actively maintains a high quality program, presented by local, national and international producers. We also enable partnerships or joint ventures between companies and producers who wish to share resources and the risks associated with putting on a production.
Q is conceptualised, created and championed by the very performing artists who use our facilities. Our consultation with hirers and industry professionals throughout Q’s evolution ensures that our spaces are run in ways that truly nurture, grow and enhance our industries.
Our co-operative approach extends to the use of our rehearsal room, Vault, which is available for hire by any company that needs a space. Whether devising and developing a new work or staging a classic, Q’s fully equipped space is an ideal working environment.
Whilst our primary purpose is as a venue for performing arts, three of Q’s key spaces are also available for corporate or private hire. Loft, Citizen Q and Lounge are each fantastic function settings to host conferences, parties, launches or networking events.
