In January 2022 Next Stage Theatre Company re-opened Burdall’s Yard as a brand new community centre and arts' hub.

The highly respected local theatre company Next Stage has operated in Bath since 1994 and opened The Mission Theatre situated in Corn Street to the south of the city in 2005.

The Mission Theatre has an enviable reputation as a welcoming, friendly venue that is respectful, inclusive and understanding of the local community around it.

With three atmospheric events spaces and a large bar/cafe beside a central gated courtyard, Burdall's Yard is a perfect community space to the north of the city for a variety of purposes.

The Next Stage team running Burdall’s Yard welcome your thoughts, ideas and questions about our venue. If you would like to see the space or meet us, then please get in touch via email or swing by and say hello.
