Hiring the Lyric

The Lyric is a beautiful, unique, quirky venue in the centre of Bridport, packed full of atmosphere and history, making it an ideal venue for artists to come and make and showcase their work. We are an artist-led team so we want to support artists as much as possible. 

We can offer artists access to our auditorium hall with stage, blackout curtains, stage lighting and sound facilities. With an onsite vegetarian/vegan cafe, heating and a list of nearby digs, The Lyric has been the venue of choice for several brilliant artists and companies in which to rehearse, R&D, set build and try out their work to a discerning audience. These have ranged from a few days to 8 weeks over the summer. Surrounded by the coast and countryside, Bridport provides a breath of fresh air for city artists! 

Other hires

We have limited availability where it is possible to hire The Lyric to fit around our programme. We focus on activities that are arts-based or have creativity at the core, and that are a good fit for The Lyric. On occasion we allow hire for other events such as birthdays, weddings, conferences, film or photo shoots, but availability is limited.
