The Mission Theatre is a theatre in Bath, England.

In 2004, Next Stage Theatre Company took possession of a grade II listed building originally built as a Congregational hall for various religious groups in 1797.[1] During World War II the building was used by Air Raid Wardens.[2] It was used by The People's Mission until 1998, when it was left derelict for a number of years before being sold to Next Stage Theatre Company in 2004, where building work began to convert it into a theatre.

It is now owned by the Bath and North East Somerset Council, which has granted a Community Asset Transfer to Next Stage Theatre Company to occupy and use the building as a 100-seat theatre, arts centre and multi-purpose facility for community use.[3] Next Stage's Community Asset Transfer was guaranteed for a minimum of 99 years from 2021.

On the first floor there is a small 30-seat theatre (The Theatre Upstairs) and a bar/cafe that opens before performances in the theatre and provides drinks and snacks.[3]
