The Warehouse Theatre

The Warehouse Theatre is a theatre in Weymouth featuring dark brick walls built in Flemish bond pattern, standing four stories tall with a traditional hipped slate roof and wooden mullioned windows. Inside, original cast-iron columns and queen-post construction remain visible, marking its past as a working warehouse.

The building was constructed in the mid-1800s as Hanneys Fish Warehouse and served the fishing industry and quayside trade. Later it was converted into a cultural space that now hosts performances and educational activities.

The building retains its character as a former warehouse through exposed materials and structural elements that reflect its past in the fishing trade. Visitors experience performances set within this industrial backdrop, created by local artists and community groups who make use of the space.

The theatre sits near the quayside in central Weymouth with convenient access to public transport and parking nearby. Reaching it is straightforward, and visitors can easily navigate the central location.

The interior blends industrial maritime architecture with a central cat-walk structure that preserves warehouse elements. These walkways and exposed construction are a rare example of how a performance space integrates industrial features into its working design.
