Riverside Studios' largest and most versatile space, Studio 1 hosts theatre, dance, and live music. Its highly flexible layout means you'll often find steeply raked seating, either on retractable bleachers or individual chairs on risers, allowing for diverse stage configurations like end-on, in-the-round, or traverse.

You can generally expect excellent sightlines over heads, thanks to that steep rake. Legroom is typically adequate, though it varies with each production's specific seating arrangement.

There are no fixed architectural obstructions, but temporary set pieces or technical equipment might occasionally impact views from certain seats depending on the show's design. Accessibility seating is always integrated into the flexible layout.

Studio 2 is a smaller, highly adaptable space, perfect for intimate theatre productions, rehearsals, and workshops. Seating is entirely flexible, often unreserved, consisting of individual chairs or benches arranged to suit the specific production – think thrust, in-the-round, or end-on.

You won't find fixed 'levels' in the traditional sense here. Views are generally very good due to the intimate nature of the space, often placing you close to the action.

Legroom is typically generous as seating isn't fixed. Restricted views are rare, occurring only due to specific set design elements rather than architectural features.

Always check the specific seating plan for each production.
