Corn Exchange, Witney, Specialist Theatre Systems - Theatre Seating
Authority: Witney Town Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Corn Exchange is a grade II listed building in the heart of Witney, providing a social and
creative resource for the people of Witney and visitors.
It was built by the private 'Corn Exchange Company' in 1863, replacing a 16th Century
building used in the 1850's as a corn returns office. From the outset, it was used for social
events and meetings as well as corn dealings and housed several clubs and societies.
The main hall currently has no permanently installed technical theatre systems or seating so
the proposal is to install these systems to enable the venue to be utilised by local theatre and
music groups and small-scale touring productions.
This specification is for the supply and installation of theatre seating
