Bar and Café
Included in the 2003 update was the relocation of the licensed bar to the rear of the ground floor foyer. Offering a modern, clean, air-conditioned and friendly service area, the bar doubles as a cafe from 10.00am – 4.00pm Monday to Saturday. A portico extension to the front of the building, forms a light and airy space onto the front street giving customers the opportunity to sit back and enjoy the comings and goings of town centre life.
Being licensed and with catering easily arranged, at specific times of the day and week, the theatre\'s ground floor cafe/bar/foyer area has become popular as a party/presentation venue in its own right.
The space comfortably accommodating 50 -60 offers a small, bright, easily accessible and upmarket option for Sunday Christenings, anniversary teas, and small business related activities and special events.
Accessibility
The Empire offers excellent access for people with a disability, especially those that are wheelchair bound. The ground floor is ramped in the relevant places. There is space for 6 dedicated wheelchair users and their carers.
