Tavistock Wharf is the premiere venue for Live Music in West Devon. Since 1995 it has been privately run as an community arts centre offering Live Music, Movies, Theatre and Live Satellite streams of popular West End shows and Ballets. There is also an Art Gallery, Coffee Shop and Licensed Bar set on a unique waterside terrace. The stone building has excellent acoustics, and our 16kW sound and 48-
channel lighting systems are second to none. With experienced sound and lighting technicians and 24 track recording facilities, we can offer a live performance facility that is hard to beat. The auditorium also doubles as a 200-seat cinema, equipped with state of the art equipment, including full Dolby surround sound with a dynamic "earthquake" sub bass system for those blockbusters. It is surprising to many that good sound can be very exciting and compliment your enjoyment of a film - without being too loud! In addition to the regular live music and cinema events, Tavistock Wharf hosts a number of theatre productions and special shows throughout the year. Previous events include BBC Gardeners Question Time, BBC Children in Need, Germaine Greer, Pam Ayres, Independent Ballet Wales, John Suchet, Tavistock Steam Fair and many more - the list is endless! New to the venue is live event satellite broadcast screening, featuring our high quality digital projection and state of the art sound - watch remote ballet, concert and classical events as they happen, from many famous venues.
