Renting The Brattle
Theater Rentals
The Brattle is available on a limited basis for public and private rentals for film screenings, readings, lectures, small panels, solo acoustic music, and other ‘low-impact’ events. All events are assessed based on availability and appropriateness for our space. We are currently not able to accommodate theatrical events including dance, extensive theater tech, or large casts.
The more appropriate your event is for the Brattle and the more closely it aligns to our mission to celebrate film, the more flexible and accommodating we will be with you.
Rental Guidelines:
- Please check our current schedule to get an idea of availability prior to inquiring about a specific date. We are typically booking primetime events at least 2 months in advance… but it never hurts to ask. Off hours events will have more flexibility.
- Off-hours rentals are generally before 2pm on Sat & Sun and before 4pm Mon-Fri. Everything else would be considered a “primetime” rental.
- Rental price varies by day of week, time of day, and length of time requested. Please contact us for a quote.
- Our capacity is currently limited to 200 audience members for special events (9/1/24).
- Our availability for rentals is very limited. We do not allow private rentals on weekend evenings. Public rentals for weekend evenings are rare but it never hurts to ask.
- You will be required to abide by and enforce our current COVID mitigation policies.
- No outside alcohol is allowed. Other outside food or beverage must be approved by The Brattle prior to the event.
- The Brattle Theatre does not have a reception area and our lobby is quite small so our ability to host medium/large gatherings that include mingling and social time is very limited.
- Our cancelation policy varies by event and will be clearly described to you during the confirmation process.
