Great Hall at The Leys
Summary
Great Hall is our Performing Arts Centre, completed in September 2013 and officially opened by HRH the Earl of Wessex in January 2014.
At the heart of Great Hall is a professionally-equipped, multi-purpose teaching theatre, designed in collaboration with world-renowned theatre consultants Charcoalblue, set in a stylish and modern – yet traditional – proscenium format with wrap-around ‘circle’ balcony. The theatre has hosted many theatrical and music events for The Leys and the Cambridge community, ranging from ‘West End’ musicals to contemporary dance and baroque opera!
Great Hall is also the venue for school assemblies, and many lectures and other events for the School, as well as housing the Drama and Dance departments, and adjoining the school’s Science department with three laboratory classrooms under the same roof.
