Fringe Common Rooms at Trades Hall consists of two spaces: Ballroom: a performance space & bar that holds up to 176 patrons standing or 114 seated theatre-style. Perfect for your event or performance (think comedy, cabaret, spoken word), dance party, book launch or film screening. Lounge: a second, intimate saloon-style space that holds up to 76 people standing or 48 seated and is ideal for workshops, meetings and rehearsals. Porque no los dos? For most events in the Ballroom, the Lounge can be used as a break-out area or backstage green room at no extra cost. Common Rooms holds a 3am licence on all days except Sunday (which is licenced until 11pm). We have a bar in the Ballroom that we can run during your event; a minimum spend may apply. Across both spaces there are 8x cabaret tables, 6x high bar tables and chairs and 130 theatre seats available to use
