Beacham Theatre
The Beacham, as it is currently named, has since been used as a series of concert venues and nightclubs thus saving it from demolition. The Beacham Theatre was once home to the late-night underground discotheque Aahz that is recognized internationally as a birthplace and critical component of the electronic dance music movement.

In July 2016, BOAT hosted the Starboard Festival, a new festival of outdoor performance by, for and with children and young people from 0 to 21. Over 16 days, 20 different shows were staged, as well as workshops in playwriting and performing. Festival founder Naomi Alexander told the Latest that she was inspired by seeing a show at BOAT: 'I wanted to do something that would enable children and young people in the city to discover this magic for themselves and for BOAT to become part of their psychogeography of the city.'
