Nuffield is fundamentally repositioning itself within the regional and national landscape as a commissioner, developer and producer of high quality theatre. We aim to create bold, distinctive productions, attracting the highest calibre of artist and talent to work in Southampton. Nuffield has developed a profile and reputation for innovation and quality in Southampton and beyond the city, taking work to London and on tour nationally and internationally. Our produced programme is backed by a bespoke artist development programme and extensive outreach and community projects.

In March 2015, Nuffield announced that they will be the operating company of the North Building in Southampton’s new arts venue in Guildhall Square, due to open in 2017, whilst continuing to run their current space on the Highfield campus of the University of Southampton. The new building will include a flexible 447 seat main house theatre, a 135 seat studio, screening facilities, rehearsal and workshop spaces, and a café bar and bistro.
