Festival of Tomorrow  

The Festival of Tomorrow has many locations throughout the February half term week.  The two public days are held at The Wichelstowe Trinity Learning Campus which encompasses the Deanery CE Academy and Kingfisher CE Academy on the Friday and Saturday. 

What's on !

Wichelstowe Trinity Learning Campus has the most amazing facilities that can be hired out.  We have a Sport England specification sports hall and floodlit all weather pitch, as well as other sporting and non-sporting facilities.

The Deanery Theatre which is state-of-the-art, holds an audience capacity of over 430 (tiered seating) and additional spaces for wheelchairs.  The Deanery Theatre can also convert into a hall, we simply push the tiered seating against the back wall and this create a superb space for Dances, Balls, Conferences, Presentation events, Wedding receptions, (this list is endless).   Todate, we have held theatre shows by local Performing Arts Companies, Wilkes Academy of Performing Arts,  Southampton Youth Concert, The Rock Choir, Christmas Panto organised by Thames Water.   In 2019 and 2023 we had BBC Question Time with presenter Fiona Bruce.  Since 2022  we have had the amazing Festival of Tomorrow  with a fantastic array of science talks, shows, panels, exhibitors for a full two days for families to enjoy during the February half term.

THE DEANERY THEATRE

Not only do we offer facilities for regular hirers, but we have the most wonderful theatre for hire too.  It has a capacity audience of 432 plus 5 spaces for wheelchairs, super facilities for audience to wait prior to event and free on-site parking.    Why not get in contact and we can discuss your event with you, give you a tour of our facilities and talk you through what technical support we can offer with regards to lighting and sound for your event. 

We have had the most amazing shows her todate from local performing arts companies to choirs, bands and festivals.  The tiered seating can be down or pushed back to create floor space for a dinner dance, wedding reception, quiz nights, presentation evenings, to name but a few.
