Auditorium
The main auditorium will accommodate an audience of up to 300. The seating will be fully retractable and upholstered to give flexibility of format without any compromise in comfort. State-of-the-art acoustic technology will ensure excellent sound production for live performance and cinema. The design of the stage and the backstage facilities will be to professional standard.
Studio
This versatile space will seat 75 people and will be ideal for recitals, performances, rehearsals, meetings, workshops, exhibitions, training and business entertainment.
Bar
No theatre would be complete without a bar to meet in before the show and during intervals. Riverbank's architects have conceived a bar servery that will efficiently meet the needs of its target audience for all types of entertainment. |

Foyer
The foyer, with views of the river and the water meadows, will provide an attractive and spacious area for pre-show and interval drinks. Its inviting atmosphere will be the place for users and casual visitors to meet friends for a drink or lunch. The box office is situated here and there is a covered external terrace.
Cafe
Riverbank's foyer/cafe will make a convivial meeting place for Marlborough's townspeople and visitors. The kitchen will be able to cope with larger scale corporate entertaining and the demands of any hirer's chosen caterers.
Timetable
Riverbank aims to open its doors in 2008/9. Major fund-raising initiatives are in place and Riverbank's backers are confident that the targets are achievable so that the dream of local people will become a reality. |

Conferences
A major contribution to Riverbank's revenue-earning capability will be corporate conferences and exhibitions for up to 300 delegates. By utilising the latest technology, it will be possible to instantly configure the main auditorium as a flat floor conference space, or as a traditional raked theatre.
Business Presentations
Riverbank's flexible facilities will allow a wide range of businesses and other organisations to mount presentations and public exhibitions and will also increase the venue's daytime income potential.
