Orange Street Venue

Location

OSMC is located at 15 Orange Street, Canterbury, which runs parallel to the main High Street shops and is situated just a few yards from the Marlowe Theatre. As you enter and walk through our own exclusive double doors at street level, you proceed up our sweeping staircase to the first floor (our Chaucer gallery) which then leads you through to the grand hall (our Becket Gallery), a former ballroom.

The Venue

Built in the 19th Century with exquisite interior features, the grand hall is a unique building which has retained many of its historical features and now as OSMC it has regained its full stylistic charm. It remains crucial to us to retain those features that make this such a remarkable and historic building, whist keeping the interior up to date in design. OSMC offers you two art galleries showcasing local and national talent with afternoon coffee, but it is our evening entertainment performed in our ‘one of a kind’ grand hall which makes us unique, as a cultural hub of Canterbury and surrounding Kent.

Events

After creating established links with The Marlowe Theatre, Kent Hot House film company as well as numerous University links, OSMC brings you theatre and comedy nights, local and national film nights as well as high quality music performances from local, national and international talents. See our What's On pages for events details.

Multi-Arts Pulse

Our aim is to bring you a diverse range of musical genres, not only catering for your unique tastes but we also invite you to sample musical styles which otherwise you may not have encountered. From jazz nights to dance acts, folk duos to acoustic grunge, solo artists to full bands, our aim is to broaden peoples eyes, ears and minds with an eclectic mix of arts, music,comedy, film and theatre. See our "What's On" pages for night by night listings.

OSMC is also open every day from 10.30am to 6pm. See our "Cafe" page for details.

Situated in the cultural heart of historical Canterbury, OSMC is an ideal opportunity for you to experience the city’s multi-arts pulse. As a continuously growing and increasingly modern city, (home to 135,00 people) Canterbury is flourishing with new shops, restaurants and theatres. OSMC commits to giving you a diverse range of performance oriented art as well as numerous professional functions. We are a multi-arts centre.
