The Civic Art Gallery in Barnsley

Reviews

   It's the 1st time I've been since it reopened after renovation. It is amazing what they've done. We went to see a live show. The seating wasn't very comfortable and unfortunately it wasn't very well organised. There was nobody to direct you to your seat. The queue to get into the auditorium was chaos as was the queue for drinks. However, the staff were very friendly and approachable. They were all smiling and the show itself was excellent!

   This is a quite intimate venue without being cramped. Comfortable, modern facilities in and around a grand structure in keeping with Barnsleys centre. Quiet mid week performance of Jane Austens Lady Susan. Excellent production.

   I visited the Civic to watch the pantomine Cinderella. Fantastic production, all the actors and dancers did amazing. The staff at the venue are kind, welcoming and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this venue

   Attended the Garden Party event on Saturday - absolutely brilliant day. Loads to see and do and the weather was kind too. Great to see the whole centre doing so well and it being so busy with increased footfall and everyone enjoying it. Had a good chat with some staff from the Civic (never been in before) and, as a result, we have booked in for two shows in October. Happy days and looking forward to it.

   Lovely venue Saw Show of Hands new show. As usual for these places no Brandy at the Bar. The only other criticism - Security staff NOT NEEDED and the one at the front messing with AND could hear her radio during performance. Totally un necessary to have SECURITY presence AT ALL especially idiot ones as above.

   Had a brilliant night at the Motown Concert, the group were very talented in delivering my favourite genre of music, and wow, them dance moves. I also loved how they interacted with the crowd making the night very memorable. Xx

   Abba Gold,fabulous show, very feel good. Pleased to see disruptive behaviour by an over zealous audience member managed ,politely and professionally enabling her to carry on enjoying the show. Lovely well managed venue. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

   I can safely say we had a good laugh once again I - we , my son and I have been to experience the comedy of zthe Last laugh Comedy show . Three times we have been and we have LOL every time. The Civic has had a make over the recent years which makes the place more modern and visitor friendly . The venue has a bar , and drinks can be paid for and reserved in advance for the intervals. Good venue for comedy shows , and music shows . The civic also has an art Gallery and coffee shop for day time events. You can book for tickets on line or go to the reception and there is always a friendly receptionist to help you book anything you fancy . There is another comedy show coming up in January 2023 .

   The Civic, Barnsley provides great access to all the arts not only for the town but the whole of South Yorkshire. The exhibition space and the team who organise it are second to none. They produce shows that are museum standard.
