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.

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
I'd be pleased to recommend Jenny, The Venue Booker. I knew our request was going to be a tall order but she rose to the challenge, negotiated some cracking rates and retained her patience and professionalism despite some spectacular dithering at our end!

"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. "
