Our Venues
Central
Our largest space encompasses the nave and aisles of the former church and is a very spacious and flexible room for filming. With tall ornate stone pillars and period features, the space dazzles when dressed or used as a blank canvas.
Upstairs
Our traditional theatre space seats up to 169 in an end-on raked setup. The black box space has a classic feel and can be configured to have a separate audience entrance from Roxy Central if required making it perfect for a film screening or launch.
Snug Bar
Located in the crypt, this cosy lounge area with bar is an ideal breakout space or use as a large green room or hospitality space.

Filming:
I just wanted to thank you and your team for being so welcoming and supportive throughout our visit to you. From the very first you made us all relax and we could tell at once that with you, we would be in such good and capable hands. Despite the lengths we put you to, you and your fine team met every challenge with warmth, understanding and great assuredness which we all hugely appreciated. Lloret Dunn, Supervising Locations Manager, The Lost King.
Artists:
The funded residency at Assembly Roxy was absolutely invaluable for my development as a young artist. I felt so well supported throughout the process; from the application, to writing risk assessments, arriving in the space, technical support and starting an honest relationship with such a reputable venue. The funding allowed not only the creation of set/equipment but also the employment of a rigger, a collaborator in person, two mentors over zoom and a professional videographer. This was a lifeline at what otherwise would have been a year with so few opportunities. - Creative Labs project-Beverley Grant, aerial and dance artist
