TELLING THE
Best stories

Based in the centre of Eastleigh, The Point is a regional powerhouse for contemporary dance, aerial and circus, theatre and combined arts.

We specialise in programming risk-taking contemporary performance. Our programme of professional dance, theatre, comedy and film attracts the very best British and international artists to the region.

Owned and managed by Eastleigh Borough Council, The Point became one of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations in April 2015.

In 2009 The Point opened the first UK fully residential Creation Space – a state-of-the-art double-height light filled rehearsal studio with accommodation attached, allowing artists 24 hour access to the rehearsal room.

Four bedrooms house up to 11 artists, with the ground floor bedroom fully accessible.

This world-class facility has supported the development of work by companies including Gecko, Akram Khan, Ballet Boyz, Charlotte Vincent, Ben Wright, Fevered Sleep, Gravity & Levity and Pirates of the Carabina.

Each June, The Point presents Eastleigh Unwrapped. A free day of live performance in the heart of Eastleigh Town Centre, bringing the best of UK and international talent to the Borough with a packed programme of circus, theatre, aerial, dance and more.

Every September The Point presents the week-long Eastleigh Film Festival. With one-off, bespoke cinematic experiences and classic films in unusual places across the Borough of Eastleigh, Eastleigh Film Festival puts the excitement back into the movies.
