Imagine a multi purpose venue that is the major focus for creative activity in Andover, a place in which to meet, do business, learn and have a good time....... welcome to The Lights.

A 249 seat professionally fitted auditorium, an Arena that takes 400 standing with an adjacent deck overlooking a water feature, a suite of business rooms, a creative studio space together with well equipped dance studios - all this plus a great cafe bar makes The Lights a destination arts venue.

Chatter and Natter

Each Thursday from 10am - 12pm a group table is on open reserve for the Chatter and Natter scheme - order your refreshments and then join the open table to chat to new people. It's not a scheme to make friends, just to encourage some good old-fashioned chat! For more information visit the national website: www.chattycafescheme.co.uk

Evening Show Service

The Bar is open an hour before a show on performance evenings and during the interval, and is the place to meet friends and fellow theatre goers. Please note that the bar will be closed after the interval.

A small range of sandwiches, rolls, toasties and cakes are available prior to evening shows.

On summer evenings the canopied deck is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of chilled wine, a G&T or a long cold beer. Drinks may be enjoyed before, after, and during most performances at The Lights. Look out for our regular special promotions including guest beers, cocktails and feature flavour ice creams!

Interval drinks may be ordered at the Bar prior to evening performances.

The Arena Cafe Bar will be closed to the public on a variety of days throughout the year to enable Blood Donation sessions to take place.
