A lovely local gem run by the performers. The production was delightfully earnest and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Highbury is a small theatre, tucked in a residential street and looked after by a mixture of paid staff and volunteers. All the people I have come across are absolutely wonderful, so helpful and welcoming. Smaller acts can showcase themselves here and I've seen some fantastic performances. There is a small bar area, with really reasonable prices (nothing like the prices you pay at other theatres) and there's a cafe area too if tea or coffee is your preference. You can normally park on the side road. I think we are lucky to have this small theatre in our local area and I hope it keeps going to bring joy to me and others. I'm only giving 4 stars, not 5, based on the premises maybe needing a bit of a facelift, but I imagine that would cost the theatre too much to do, and would no doubt impact the prices they currently charge.
This hidden gem is a great little theatre providing first class entertainment all in house and a great variety of plays both classic and modern. Highly recommended!
This place took me by surprise. I did not know of this lovely theatre which was about 3 miles away and set away from the main Bolmere Road. We saw a small production panto of Goldilocks which was funnier than anything I had seen in central Birmingham for many years. My daughter’s best friend was the little bear and she was excellent. The seating was great and had a cosy feel and the audience was inclusive in the performance. Yes it is small, but it had a bar, shop and sofas in the waiting areas. I would recommend supporting this theatre and similar around the West Midlands area.
My friend and I had a lovely evening at the Highbury. Saw a fantastic farce and the wine was cheap and very nice. Pity it couldn't be transferred into paper cups to take into the performance, though.
Lovely theater with new and interesting shows regularly. If you have never been try it ! It's worth it
First time visit to see a Panto. Lovely small theatre. All normal facilities including bar very reasonably priced. We parked in the street as a carpark wasn't obvious, so there may be one. Performance of Jack and the Beanstalk was enthusiastically acted by amateur theatre group. Great family fun at Christmas
Just seen Jekyll and Hyde wasn’t expecting this but an outstanding performance by the actors it was emotional, exciting and exhilarating. Highly recommend seeing . The theatre is a hidden gem the staff are very friendly and helpful.
This is a lovely local theatre with a rich history, and we enjoyed a friendly welcome from drama group members. There is a bright and cheerful cafe on the premises - or there's a bar if you prefer alcoholic drinks in the interval. This evening's performance was 'Art' by Yasmin Reza. Interesting and well-acted - a wonderful evening out.
