BAC (Battersea Arts Centre) is renowned for making some of the most cutting-edge new work in the UK. Our mission is to invent the future of theatre by nurturing the creation and development of theatre, music, visual arts, live art, and multimedia performance from talented emerging artists.

Our Participate programme offers people of all ages and backgrounds creative opportunities to take part in the theatre making process. YPT, our Young People’s Theatre, gives 13 - 25 year olds the opportunity to create their own work with exciting artists and perform on a professional stage.

Housed in a Grade II* listed old town hall we have many different, unique and unusual performance spaces, alongside more traditional black-box studios. Relaxed and informal, BAC aims to be a home for artists, staff and audiences. Grab a drink in our cosy Café Bar, peek behind doors to explore the building, and experience the future of theatre before everyone else.
