Fareham Live Theatre Grand Opening
2nd October 2024
We were delighted to attend the grand opening of Fareham Live last night, a project we first designed in 2019 for Fareham Borough Council. The evening kicked off with an electrifying performance of The Rocky Horror Show starring Jason Donovan, signalling a fresh chapter for this vibrant community venue.
Fareham Live, formerly known as Ferneham Hall, originally opened in 1982 as a theatre and entertainment hub. Now, it has been fully refurbished and transformed into a flexible, modern space, while maintaining its vital role within the community.
This state-of-the-art entertainment venue now boasts an 800-seat concert hall with 120-seat secondary space, with improved foyer, a ground-floor café, and a first-floor terrace bar. A new studio space has also been created on the first floor to support various activities, from dance and yoga to youth and community programs.
We are proud to have played a role in the transformation of this cultural landmark, bringing it back to life for Fareham.
