"First time here, had the best time, we watched the Jack and the beanstalk show and what a fabulous performance. From the oldest to the youngest we all absolutely loved it. Will 100% be returning. You made our Christmas magical. Thank you."
"Wonderful theatre ! Not that big that you loose the wonderful intimacy you need for many shows, good comfy seating, polite and friendly staff. Will be back in December for Panto. Highly recommend this fantastic theatre. 2022 Pantomime was Jack and the Beanstalk. Iain Lauchlan once again smashed it, we have been coming here for years, with our children and now grandchildren. Never ever disappoints. Fantastic value for money, and as always will be back next year for more !! Can't recommend highly enough"
"Very impressed with the theatre. It’s had an overhaul and it looks great! We went to the pantomime and was pleasantly surprised. The seats were comfortable (we were in a box), and pretty good views. The show was very funny, the dancers were lovely and the actors were fantastic! Lots of laughs were had with lots of local references. The bathrooms were clean and were spaced out around the theatre. I’d highly recommend a trip to the theatre!"
"Event was in the small studio Theatre, which was ideal. Clean, a good tech team and good facilities - although both coffee bars were closed for the whole weekend due, I think, to Covid affecting staff."
"Went to Neil Diamond Ultimate tribute at short notice. Reception and bar areas modern and spacious but drinks service struggles with numbers. Staff are friendly and helpful. Theatre area a little dated with seats OK but not much leg room. Was sat right at back and I thought sound could be a little better but could hear the music fine (struggled to hear singer when he was talking)."
