The theatre was octagonal and able to accommodate an audience of 150 on tiered seating which afforded an excellent view of the acting area.

The theatre had a 14 metre diameter octagonal sprung floor, with all round access and surrounded by a 2.4 metre high balcony. Many different seating arrangements were possible and it was particularly suitable for theatre in the round and three-quarter staging. the theatre with its different style was intended to complement the traditional qualities of the Theatre Royal.
