[2] Whilst Cedars Hall's award-winning design was devised to give chamber musicians the very best acoustic experience,[3] the flexibility of the technical specification means that this venue is accessible for performers of every discipline – for amplified music, dance, drama and lectures.

[4] It also acts as a hub for wider participation and involvement by the local community, providing music education (including workshops, concerts and masterclasses) for young people, the elderly and for disability groups throughout South West England.

In addition to music, Cedars Hall has a varied programme, which includes lectures, art exhibitions, comedy shows and drama productions.
