The Drum, Arts centre in Aston, Birmingham, United Kingdom
The Drum features two performance spaces, including a main auditorium with 350 seats and a smaller studio theatre accommodating 120 spectators.
From 1908 to 1960, the building operated as the Aston Hippodrome theatre, hosting performances by Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, and Judy Garland.
The venue established itself in 1998 as the United Kingdom's national centre for Black British and British Asian arts, presenting diverse performances and exhibitions.
The facility contains multiple exhibition spaces, multimedia production facilities, co-working areas, and event spaces available for community and professional use.
In 2019, the building transformed into the Legacy Centre of Excellence, becoming Europe's largest independent Black-owned business and arts organization.
