VENUE INFORMATION on the island
WAREHOUSE 15
The warehouse is located on the Upper Island.
This is a bare bones location. The floors are unfinished, there are gaps in the walls. (We will have heating in the winter)
When performances take place there will usually be no seating. However audience members are encouraged to bring along picnic rugs.
If you have problems walking up stairs, or uphill, this venue may prove challenging. However, once at the venue, there are no access problems enterieng the building.
We may be able to assist some patrons. Please do contact us at least 48 hours before you wish to attend an event, so we can try to help.
The acoustic in this venue, in most cases would not lend itself to fine classical music.
