Who owns BATS?

BATS is operated by BATS Theatre Limited (formerly BATS Holdings Limited), a company wholly owned by the BATS Theatre Charitable Trust.

Our iconic theatre building is owned by The Wellington Film Properties Trust who purchased number 1 Kent Terrace in late 2011, generously securing the building for BATS’ use. They undertook strengthening work and an incredible renovation in 2013 and 2014.

BATS rents 1 Kent Terrace from The Wellington Film Properties Trust. BATS' landlords are not involved in the governance operation or funding of BATS theatre, but we literally wouldn't be where we are today without their amazing support.

To hear more about BATS' incredible beginnings, listen to this great  interview with Ken Duncum, recorded by Radio New Zealand in conjunction with the release of the anthology, BATS Plays, a collection of seminal plays produced at BATS in the eighties and nineties and co-written with Rebecca Rodden which you can buy here.
