Ferneham Hall is closed for remodelling!

Ferneham Hall is now closed to be remodelled into an exciting new Community Arts and Entertainment venue.

In 2018, the Council produced a vision for Ferneham Hall following a consultation with the public, regular hirers, industry experts and potential operators.

To find out more please take a look at the Ferneham Hall Vision (3 MB).

What will the new venue offer?

• A bigger main theatre with more comfortable seating
• Improved stage and backstage areas to support high quality performances
• A flexible smaller secondary performance space
• A flexible studio space
• A new bar and café area
• Spaces for community groups and organisations to hire

Who will operate the new building?

BH Live will be the new operator for the building and will manage the venue on behalf of Fareham Borough Council when it is expected to reopen in 2022.

They will deliver an exciting line up of performances and events to suit a range of tastes for the community to enjoy.

BH Live is a leading operator of leisure and event venues; a social enterprise that designs and builds engaging experiences to inspire people and enrich lives.
