The Space

As well as marriage ceremonies, couples hold their wedding receptions here at our 125 year old theatre. The capacity is up to 220 seated, 124 eating, and 394 standing. 

Our balcony bar has views of 95 miles of Jurassic coastline—the Marine is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The seats are not fixed, so the space is very adaptable for different parts of the day.

On the ground floor, the auditorium seats 124 wedding guests for food. There is room for 394 people standing. Please see our wedding table layout options below. The stage provides an excellent space for speeches—as well as live music. With a wooden semi-sprung floor, the space is ideal for dancing at wedding receptions. We provide technical and lighting assistance for speeches and music.

There are two dressing rooms, two bars, an outside forecourt, stage, and backstage areas.

For further information and to arrange a viewing, please give us a call on 01297 442 394 or email office@marinetheatre.com
