About

Whether yours is a big-hearted, budget romcom or an all singing all dancing production, we’d be delighted to host your wedding day. We are a small, much-loved Cotswold venue, nestled in a pretty residential street.

As an organisation whose very purpose is to create a welcome, enjoyable and seamless experience, we are perfectly placed to stage your big day.

"Our wedding was as perfect as we could imagine. The staff were incredible and made us feel so special. We had all the information we needed as well as sharing our ideas and have the theatre make them into reality. We couldn't have wished for more!" - Sarah & Laurence

Facilities and Capacity

Our auditorium provides an intimate yet grand setting for your day. Bare Cotswold stone walls, gallery seating and pillars all underneath the vaulted ceiling and theatre lights – there’s no other space like it. Our venue is customisable and flexible to your vision. Musicians, floral displays and confetti cannons have all graced our stage, or opt for simple and beautiful fairy lights. You can also create an aisle through our theatre seats, or remove them altogether.

The auditorium is fully licensed for civil ceremonies, which can be arranged with the Oxfordshire licensing authorities. Your wedding party will have use of their wheelchair-accessible dressing rooms for pampering and pre-ceremony toasts.

"Our guests absolutely loved the theatre and we’ve heard from so many people how special and unique it was. Having the ceremony on the stage meant that everyone could see us clearly and it felt very intimate despite us having 200 guests." - Katy & Jake

We are delighted to host you for your ceremony and drinks reception before you head off to your reception (we can make suggestions!); or you can make a day of it and hold your reception with us.

We can hold small sit down dinners or buffets, working with your choice of caterers. We have no in-house catering nor a kitchen; however, being well-placed in the heart of Chipping Norton local restaurants and caterers are able to provide hot food.

Our venue is made for entertainment, so whether you want a playlist or a DJ, live band or ceilidh, we can ensure an after party to remember.

  • 200 ceremony guests in the auditorium
  • 80 for buffet dining

  • 60 for sit-down dining

  • 150 for drinks & dancing

Services Offered

There is no "standard" Theatre wedding. As we host only a few weddings a year we do not have a set format our couples have to stick to, which means your day is really yours.

Your package includes exclusive use of the venue, as well as our expert sound and lighting technicians to make sure everything goes without a hitch.

The wonderful team behind The Theatre Chipping Norton makes celebrations of love unforgettable. Their ultimate goal is to create a welcoming, enjoyable, and seamless experience for couples and their loved ones.

"Our friends and family were blown away, as were we!" - Alison & Matthew

A Magical Place to Get Married

We already knew the Theatre was a very special place, but we had not imagined how magical the transformation would be for our wedding day. The team were open to all of our ideas and helped created a truly unforgettable day. Our friends and family were blown away, as were we!

Wow - what a wedding!

My husband and I got married at The Theatre Chipping Norton, just less than a week ago and we had the best, smoothest & most perfect day ever. Planning the wedding with the theatres staff was easy; good communication, staff were easy to talk to and they always replied in a timely manner. That’s only the beginning. Not only was the theatre an already stunning and unique location, but the staff went above and beyond to make it what my husband and I imagined. It was absolutely perfect. The day ran smoothly, without a hiccup and the staff were so excellent, we had no idea what transitions were going on behind the scenes because the staff were so organised and wanted to allow us to soak up every minute of the day. Thank you to theatre - you have given us THE best day we could have ever dreamed of!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
