The Drill Hall creates and supports the development of unusual, unexpected, special and artistically daring work, and champions the work of lesbian, gay and queer artists. The Drill Hall leads, educates and entertains. Through its artistic activity, The Drill Hall works for greater social inclusion leading to an equal, tolerant and compassionate society.

The Drill Hall is a leading producer and presenter of original new work across a wide range of genres: musical, physical, comedic and cabaret. It is the number one London venue to see radical queer theatre and new work that plays with the politics of identity.

The Drill Hall has been responsible for leading, developing, commissioning, encouraging and supporting some of the most exciting, extraordinary and sophisticated work that has emerged in the last 25 years.

The Drill Hall has virtually single-handedly ensured that the work of lesbian, gay and queer artists has become visible, acknowledged and viewed within a wider artistic context. Similarly the work of women artists has been central to our work.
