The Auditorium The auditorium provides an impressive yet intimate space for all entertainment genres including professional touring companies, community drama and dance shows as well as award ceremonies and comedy shows. The seats can be removed to provide a flat floor space perfect for standing live music performances, interactive artistic installations and cabaret . The Broadway is fully equipped with state of the art sound and lighting facilities and professional technicians to make every event a success.
View from the stage
The Studios The Dance and Drama Studios are two fully equipped, sprung floored studios available for regular or one off hire on evenings, weekends and during school holidays. The Dance Studio is fully air conditioned and features floor to ceiling mirrored walls. Either studio is ideal for workshops, rehearsals, classes for all disciplines and small intimate performances.
About Us The Broadway is located in the borough of Barking and Dagenham and offers an attractive setting for a wide variety of performance based art, participation and popular entertainment. Originally the Barking Assembly Hall, the Broadway was redeveloped as a new arts venue, housing a state of the art auditori-um, meeting room, fully licensed bar, cafe, studios and art gallery. Close to the city and just 5 minutes walk from Barking tube and rail station, there are also public car parks adjacent to the building.

The Foyers The Broadway has three distinct, fully accessible foyer areas which are included when hiring the auditorium to entertain and welcome guests or can be hired separately for smaller, more intimate events. The foyer includes the Broadway bar restaurant which is open and staffed when required. A floor to ceiling glass wall provides attractive views across Barking Abbey Green. There is free wi-fi access via The Cloud. The mezzanine floor is ideal for small ensemble music performances, meetings or VIP sections for guests. The Broadway team are always on hand to help create a memorable event.
