Welcome to The Medina Theatre on the Isle of Wight, English Channel, United Kingdom. The Theatre has a warm, intimate and friendly atmosphere with an auditorium fan of 70°, comfortable raked seating at an angle of 18°, and a very efficient heating/ventilation system.
In technical terms, the nerve centre is a spacious control room, well situated at the rear of the auditorium. This area houses lighting, sound, communication and film facilities.
The general policy of The Medina Theatre is to compliment the work of the other venues for entertainment and the arts already in existence on the Island - we do not regard ourselves as being in competition with anyone. The aim is to provide the community which this Theatre serves with a varied and well-balanced programme of events - across the whole range of the performing arts and entertainment, both on a professional and amateur level.
Medina Movies operates two film seasons during the year, within the pleasant surroundings of the Medina Theatre. Films are shown once a week during each season of approximately 12 films, and cover a wide variety of films from a wide background of timeless classics to the modern greats. Many regular cinema fans, as part of the cinema experience, join the film membership club, which for a small fee you can see all films at a concessionary rate, and get movie notes accompanying each film.
Serving the Theatre and adjacent to it, is a bar and café, shared with Medina Leisure Centre. In this area is situated the main foyer and public entrance. There are backstage entrances to the scene dock and a stage door entrance for performers.

A Theatre front of house volunteers group has been established which contribute to the running of the Theatre on a voluntary basis, thereby making the venture a true community project.
We hope to encourage the local community to come to The Medina Theatre, Isle of Wight, English Channel.
