HIRE US
We have a full programme here at The Shed. However, we are occasionally available for hire for events that we feel fit within our mission of providing for the local community.
As a general rule, Fridays and Saturdays are unavailable, but please do discuss your needs with us. We’ve held conferences, rehearsals, recordings, clothes sales, and so much more. Please contact Kathryn Limoi on for prices.
Exhibitions are handled separately from hires – please contact Kathryn on the address above for more info.
THE MAIN HALL
Converted from a large Victorian railway goods shed, The Shed now provides a fully modern performing space while retaining great character.
Please note that for music or other performances or large events, proposed events are discussed with the Events Committee to ensure the season programme is balanced. We reserve the right to turn down these hire requests without explanation.
THE MARY JANE CARRIAGE
Our Finnish railway carriage is available to hire for small events (up to 20 people seated). We’ve hosted readings, language classes, birthdays, and more. Please contact Kathryn Limoi to discuss your needs.
Built in 1949 in Helsinki, the carriage was brought to Tetbury and completely refurbished by the Trust in 1918. Among the original features are a woodburning stove and a number of original Finnish signs
