Sustainability
Fresh air is drawn into the building by natural airflow which means the air is circulated twice as fast as air conditioning would.
Warm air is provided from a heat pump drawing heat from below the lawns at the front of the theatre.
Rainwater is harvested to provide for the toilets.
In the past 12 months we reduced our KwH output by 17.6%. PIR sensors have been installed across the venue to reduce lighting use and we have started to switch light fittings that need new tubes to a new LED fitting.
Aylesbury Waterside Theatre has achieved Gold Standard for recycling.
Accessibility
All spaces are fully accessible with lift access, level flooring and accessible toilet facilities.

Anne Robson, Virtrium
"I recommend using the venue booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, jenny made my event possible. I would use the venue booker again. "
Rochelle Cassell , Private Event
Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
Richard Rodger, Hailsham Chambers
The Venue Booker is a fantastic service, not only finding the best venue for my event but the constant support throughout the build-up and event itself. Professionalism throughout with great communication. Nothing was too much hassle which made the process effortless! Highly recommend and will be back in the future!
Sarah Grant, GKN
The Venue Booker provided us with a fantastic selection of venues to view for the two events we enquired about – each of these met our brief, several offered something really special and most of them came with discounted rates that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. The service is free of charge and Jenny is friendly and helpful. We will definitely use them again.
