You can now book The Institute, Braintree's only theater, for your grand celebration, corporate event or an intimate get-together, hosting up to 260 guests in four fantastic spaces. Our Grade II listed building, dating back to 1862, exudes charm and character and is conveniently located in the heart of the town center. Following a complete renovation that preserves its 19th-century allure, The Institute features tall windows on the first floor that flood the space with natural light, restored wooden flooring, and a dedicated stage.
The Stage Door is a charming wood panelled theatre bar adorned with a piano, eclectic furniture and whimsical ornaments, creating an atmosphere that's both inviting and theatrical. Mismatched chairs and vintage pieces add character to the intimate setting, making it the perfect spot parties and gatherings of up to 60 people. The Stage Door promises a unique and delightful experience, where every detail, from the teal walls to the curated decor, contributes to the overall charm of this hidden gem.

Beautiful Victorian building, stunning architecture and a real community feel. With NHS blood donations regularly, and the home to local dance schools, the Institute is giving back to the community. Looking forward to seeing it after the renovation and attending some of the new shows! New era I’m sure - very exciting!

It's where I go to gift blood because it's where they have blood donors
