Parkwood Theatres

Parkwood Leisure secured its first dedicated theatre venue in April 2011 at the Playhouse in Weston-super-Mare. We have since expanded our operations to a total of 4 theatre facilities in England, turning over an annual 6.5m. Our brand has since evolved into Parkwood Theatres, with our main goal being to develop our portfolio of public sector venues, supporting councils to reduce the cost of arts & culture provision in their respective localities.

We offer a bespoke service to each individual contract, please contact us to find out how we can help with the management of your theatre facility.

Market leaders in design, build, operation and maintenance (DBOM) of new-build leisure facilities.

We have spearheaded the complete consortia management in 14 new build projects and therefore truly understand the dynamics needed to deliver projects on time and on budget. We work with our sister company, Parkwood Project Management, who are leading providers of a wide range of consultancy services to clients in the built environment. Their team of project managers are all PRINCE2 practitioners, applying associated protocols wherever possible. The team evaluate the characteristics of each project and in doing so tailor each one to demanding output requirements.

We have developed an approach to new build facilities and major refurbishments that is founded on effective relationships, a full understanding of client requirements, exploiting new opportunities, managing risk and improving project outcomes. Environmental sustainability is at the core of our processes and we have delivered a number of award-winning facilities, many of which have achieved BREAM status.
