Based in Arley Street Studio Hub, a collection of artists studios run by CADS, Theatre Deli’s space will feature three rehearsal studios including a dance studio with a custom-built dance floor and mirrors, a performance space with a capacity of approximately 100, an open office area for hot desking, and a bar and cafe. The venue has begun to accept some hire enquiries for mid-February onwards.

Situated between the artistic hubs at Harland Works and the bustle of London Road and New Era Square, Theatre Deli will join a list of popular attractions in the area, including Treehouse Boardgame Cafe and Golf Fang.

The refurbishment of the venue has been funded by a mixed grant and loan provided by the Northern Cultural Regeneration Fund and received via Key Fund. The fund comes from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), as part of the legacy of the Great Exhibition in the North.

A national meanwhile-space charity, Theatre Deli’s model involves taking over unused spaces to support artists and offer communities access to the arts. Arley Street will be Theatre Deli’s third Sheffield venue and thirteenth venue nationally, including the charity’s current London base situated next to the Gherkin, which opened in July 2022.

“We are delighted to be opening our new venue to audiences soon. Throughout its existence Deli has been an important partner for artists looking for support, space and the room to innovate and create.

Our journey of discovering and repurposing disused spaces now takes us to Arley Street. In the coming months we look forward to welcoming artists, companies, and community changemakers through our doors and into our spaces.

Theatre Deli Sheffield is an integral part of our region's cultural landscape and we are excited to converse and collaborate with our brilliant creative community. We look forward to seeing you soon.“

Daljinder Singh, Executive Producer for Theatre Deli
