Background

house is a venue network and touring initiative based in the South East of England. Established in 2012, house delivered by Farnham Maltings with support from Arts Council England and a steering group of venue leaders, programmers and producers from the region.

We support venues to improve the range, quality and scale of theatre presented across South East England and exist to build the audience for contemporary theatre across the region.

We do this by:

• Touring high-quality contemporary theatre to our network across South East England
• Supporting audience development and marketing campaigns for the work we tour
• Organising network days, seminars, festival trips, professional development and training for venue staff
• Advocating for and co-ordinating network-wide initiatives around common goals such as access, internships and sustainability
• Providing resources, advice and connections
• Experimenting with touring models to build a sustainable future for touring performing arts work
