Pick your berry

In 2011, actor‑director Samuel West officially opened The Berry Theatre, a vibrant new arts venue in Hedge End, Hampshire, developed by Eastleigh Borough Council in collaboration with local partners. Built adjacent to Wildern School, The Berry was created to serve as a hub for creativity, community, and performance, complementing its sister venue, The Point in Eastleigh.

The Berry Theatre shares The Point’s spirit of innovation and inclusivity, offering a contemporary 306-seat auditorium and cinema screen. The Berry brings fresh energy to a purpose-built setting designed for versatility and impact.

With its main theatre, foyer and bar, The Berry provides an inspiring location for performances, conferences and tributes. The venue is supported by professional technical and catering services, including AV and state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment, ensuring that every event runs smoothly and leaves a lasting impression.
