Nestled at the end of an alley in the heart of Exeter, you'll find the Bike Shed Theatre. With a 60 seat subterranean auditorium and adjacent vintage cocktail tavern, the venue has performances from some of the country's most exciting emerging companies. Championing new work and innovation, the theatre has gained national acclaim for its shows, winning a Peter Brook Empty Space award in 2011, the UK Theatre's Most Welcoming Theatre award in 2013, The Clore Duffield Prize Fund in 2014 and becoming a National Portfolio Organisation in 2015.

Our bar has built a reputation for the most exquisite cocktails, and also serves local ale, cider and tasty wines. Open from noon, you can also enjoy fantastic teas and coffees, home cooked stews and frittatas, or generous sharing plates of locally sourced meats and cheeses.

Every weekend, we're open until 2am, either playing funky live music or hosting our favourite eclectic DJs from across the South West.
