Compass Theatre

Compass Theatre is a community theatre in Ickenham with an auditorium seating about 160 people and a well-equipped stage. The facility features modern lighting and sound systems suitable for various types of productions.

The theatre opened in 1968 as a performing arts center in the London Borough of Hillingdon, serving the local community. Its founding responded to the growing area's need for a dedicated venue for live performances.

Local dance schools and educational institutions regularly present performances here, fostering artistic development in the community. The venue serves as a hub for emerging artists and established groups from the surrounding area.

The venue offers parking on the grounds and wheelchair access at the front of the building. A bar in the foyer is available before and after performances for refreshments.

Volunteers maintain an extensive collection of costumes available for rental to performers and productions. Revenue from these rentals directly supports the theatre's maintenance and ongoing improvements.
