Strode Theatre

Strode Theatre is a performance venue in Street with two separate spaces for shows. The main auditorium seats 343 people while the studio space holds 64 visitors with flexible seating arrangements.

The theatre was founded in 1963 with support from the Clarks Foundation, becoming part of Street's cultural growth. This backing from a significant local organisation shaped it as a community-focused venue from the start.

The theatre hosts both professional and amateur performances alongside mainstream and independent films throughout the year. This mix of theatre productions and cinema creates a space where different kinds of entertainment coexist for local audiences.

The building features a bar that opens one hour before each show, giving visitors time to settle in before performances start. The box office is open on weekdays and Saturdays for inquiries and bookings.

The theatre foyer doubles as an art gallery with rotating exhibitions of works by local and regional artists. Visitors can explore these displays while waiting for shows or during intermissions.
