A flexible flat-floor concert hall in the University of Kent's Colyer-Fergusson Music Building on Giles Lane, seating around 400.
Colyer-Fergusson Hall is the concert hall of the University of Kent's Colyer-Fergusson Music Building, a 2,000 square metre building on Giles Lane completed in October 2012 and funded by a bequest from the Colyer-Fergusson Trust.
It is a flat-floor space rather than a raked auditorium, used for the University's own concert programme and for visiting artists. It stands immediately next to the Gulbenkian arts centre and the two form the campus arts complex, but they are separate buildings under separate management: the hall is run by Music at Kent, while tickets for its concerts are sold through the Gulbenkian box office.
Concert hall
The University's own wording is "at full concert capacity it has seating for around 400 audience members, 200-strong chorus, and (up to) an 80-piece orchestra", and separately that as a flat-floor space the hall can take up to six hundred audience and performers combined. The 400 is therefore approximate, and the 600 is a combined figure rather than an audience capacity, so it is not recorded as a layout.
Technical and venue information is available directly from the venue.
