Bradford Rehearsal Space

When a production comes to Bradford, there's nowhere more convenient to rehearse than Fountains Church. We're located opposite the Alhambra Theatre — Bradford's premier venue and home to the biggest touring productions in the north — meaning your company can move seamlessly between rehearsal and the stage without the stress of travel, traffic or tight turnaround times.

Our building is set up to support productions of all sizes, from large-scale musicals to intimate touring shows. Whether you need a large open space to block scenes and run choreography, a quieter room for script work, or even a production office space for technical and creative leads, we have a room to match every part of your day.

Explore our Upper Auditorium, Lower Auditorium, The Hub, The Café and office and meeting rooms to find the best fit for your production.

The building is fully accessible, and practical production needs are well catered for: on-site AV and PA equipment, secure storage for sets and props, kitchen and catering facilities to keep your company fed, and parking close by.

Fountains Church is available to hire by the hour, half-day or full day, and we're experienced in accommodating the flexible and sometimes unpredictable schedules that come with professional theatre. If you're bringing a show to the Alhambra — or anywhere else in Bradford — we'd love to be part of your production. Get in touch to discuss your dates and requirements.
