Reviews
"A stunning location and building. The bar and catering was top notch. So well organised and reasonably priced. Arrive early to enjoy the surroundings. The pre ordered interval drinks were placed on a table which you were directed to by an usher after giving the name the order was placed under. There is also a beautiful Watermill that they have made visible through a viewing window just outside the theatre. Parking well organised Can't wait to visit again!"
"Excellent performance. Staff were friendly and professional. Very intimate setting with stage almost 'in the round'. Lovely building and great to see some of the original features still there. Would definitely consider going again."
"Such a fantastic adaption of the old Watermill, which retains the water-wheel inside. A very comfortable & intimate small theatre set in lovely grounds alongside the river. There is also a picturesque restaurant & bar. Great shows are performed throughout the year some of which will then go on-tour. Several West End Plays have premiered here."
"I wat he'd a family show here today and it was brilliant! They really got the kids involved! Absolutely loved it! They had some sweets which were only 80p each and drinks from the bar were really reasonably priced aswell! Great family day out!"
"I went with my granddaughter to see the musical adaptation of Graham Greene's Our Man in Havana at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury. It was the opening night. We had a two course meal beforehand. It was freshly cooked and quite delicious. Afterwards we walked in the beautiful gardens beside a small river. Taking out seats in the gallery, we climbed a winding staircase. The small Theatre of around 200 seats was full. The performance was lively and quite fun with singing and dancing. The Musical Director Antonio was on stage throughout the whole play, which was no mean feat! Apart from playing the piano and turning his own music sheets, he also sang as well as directed. The other performers were equally enthusiastic and dedicated to their roles. It was a lovely evening out in the countryside and I recommend The Watermill Theatre as a place to frequent."
