Introduction
Recently fully refurbished, TOM’s Main House is a fantastic

formats. Hanging between our impressive, original wooden
roof beams, the truss is 5.15m above floor level.
Standard theatre, music and comedy staging arrangments
comprise a 6 to 6.6m stage at one end, however the space has
the flexibility to accomodate multiple stages, catwalk staging
or other arrangements to suit your show or event.
