The Theatre Room was lovingly restored in 2019 and honours the architecture of the 1940s Garden Theatre. This bright space can welcome up to 100 guests, and features bifold doors which open onto a private and peaceful garden. With a wealth of history around the building and throughout Calderstones Park, this is a truly special venue to remember a loved one. And what’s more, your farewell will be supporting a local charity to make a difference to people and communities across the UK.

The theatre room dressed with round tables, white table cloths and black chairs. Fairy lights are strung across the walls twinkling and there are bi-fold door onto the garden.
