The Mission Theatre is a theatre in Bath, England.

In 2004, the Next Stage Theatre Company took possession of a grade II listed building originally built as a Congregational hall 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 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 lease to occupy and use the building as a 100 seat theatre, arts centre and multi-purpose facility for community activities.[3]

On the first floor there is a small 30 seat theatre (The Theatre Upstairs) and a Bistro open during the day and providing meals before performances in the theatre.[3]
