Ashburton Arts Centre

Ashburton Arts Centre is in a lovely 1835 Grade 2-listed old church. The main hall is a flexible space seating up to 200, with fabulous acoustics for live music. Tickets for most events are available in advance below. If you're looking for something that's not here, please email us at boxoffice@ashburtonarts.org.uk

Around 6pm on the day of an event, the online ticket sales close, and it says here “Not Currently Available”. There are usually still some tickets available on the door, or by emailing the box office address above. It's usually a busy time – we'll reply if we can.

The Methodist congregation moved out in 2015, and sold the building at public auction on 19 July 2017. Ashburton Arts was the successful bidder using funds donated and loaned by people and businesses in the local community to whom we're extremely grateful.
