Stratford Arts Trust is the registered charity and company name for the organisation that runs the dynamic Stratford Circus, the arts centre in the heart of Stratford’s Cultural Quarter, close to the Queen Elizabeth Park. Stratford Circus boasts flexible spaces including a 284-seat auditorium, 90-seat studio, a large airy studio space, and an open plan, accessible café/bar area.

Driven by artistic excellence and the diverse communities of east London, our mission is to inspire and develop talent in collaboration with the best artists in the UK and internationally. We curate a visionary, artistic programme of dance, theatre, music, comedy, literature and circus, and together with our Circlets branded children’s theatre programme at the centre, we are a destination venue for local families & residents.
