The Unicorn Theatre is a wonderfully atmospheric and intimate space, which is used for drama and music performances, lectures and other events.
The Unicorn has an Elizabethan style stage with a stage balcony, inner stage and entrance arches. There are also pillars and a low balustrade that can be used to decorate the front of the stage.
The theatre is perfect for Shakespeare and historic drama when used in its default state but it can also be used for modern drama and events. The theatre has a full set of blacks which can hide the decorated façade and box sets can be built in front of it. The theatre has a good selection of lighting and sound equipment. For more information about the technical specification - Email.
 The theatre seats 89 people. Every seat has a very good view of the stage and the relationship between performer and audience is what makes this theatre special.
In 1952 Alan Kitching and his wife were walking through the ruins of the Abbey Buildings. It occured to him that the space in what is called 'The Checker Hall' would make a brilliant little theatre.

The Unicorn Theatre, as part of the Abingdon Abbey Buildings, is owned and run by The Friends of Abingdon. |
