Went 29 Dec to see Snow White. Easy near-by parking (£7.50 for 5 hours). Very friendly staff. VIP area is excellent, no long queues at the bar and you can place your order for the interval. Looks like most seats have a good view of the stage. Will definitely be booking again for panto in 2026
Really lovely theatre. Reasonably priced seats, sweets and drinks aren't excessively priced unlike some theatres and cinemas. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The performance (Matilda) was amazing, very good production values, no problem with sound or view from seats.
Pre-Show: Great waiting area, loads of space at the bars, rare to get a seat before a show starts but there were so many tables it made it quite easy. I did not buy any food or drink at the venue as I took my own water in and I saw other people with snacks so loved this aspect of the venue. The queue for the merchandise was ridiculously long and poorly placed (on the stairs so people were trying to get by). A second merchandise location would've helped. The toilets weren't busy when I went and there were a few dotted around which felt suitable for the theatre size. During show: I was in the Dress Circle, Row A, Seat 19. There is a railing that slightly obstructed my view but once the lights were down it was barely noticeable. The circle railing was at a good height to look over (I'm 5'3" and could see fine without leaning forward). The staff were helpful and seating space was good. The Show: I saw Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief which was surprisingly better than I expected. I would recommend it to fans of mythology and the book/movie/TV show. Overall, after being in quite a few cramped London venues recently I really enjoyed the amount of space at this venue both inside the auditorium and front of house.
I wanted to say a huge thank you to the theatre staff (especially the tall gentleman with glasses) and bbc production crew member who helped us on Sunday 12th October. My girlfriend and I booked tickets for us and our little girl to see the CBeebies panto on Sunday (or so we thought!) We arrived at the theatre early to make sure we could find our seats and get settled. We’d been sat in our seats for about ten minutes when, as kids do, she decided she needed the toilet. While I waited for my girlfriend and little girl to come back, a family arrived and looked a bit confused. ‘Sorry I think these are our seats’ we checked tickets and they noticed my tickets were for the night before! I felt awful, my little girl would be devastated if we had to leave. I thought I’d ruined the whole day. I gathered our things and made my way back to the exit to find my girlfriend in full panic mode. I saw a lady from the bbc production crew and begged her for help. She was so kind and understanding, she just said ‘don’t worry, it happens more than you’d think, we’ll sort something’. She went and found a member of the theatre staff (possibly the manager - the tall gentleman with glasses - wish I’d got their names!) who advised it was a full house but if we followed him he’d sort something out. 2 minutes later we were sat down in time for the panto and our little girl was none the wiser (she just thought we’d been given better seats!). It was completely our fault and they could have just shrugged and asked us to leave, but instead they went out of their way to help and avoided breaking my little girls heart, for that I’ll be forever grateful.
One of the best theatres we've been in. Accessible for all. The show 'The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe' was absolutely amazing again one of the best shows around. A credit to all the cast and the staff we had a brilliant time. I'm sure we will be visiting again.
A wonderful old theatre that has retained all of its character. The atmosphere of the place adds to the overall experience. It's family friendly and they are mindful about accessibility. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. The leg room can be quite limited, but the chairs are reasonably comfy. There are several public car parks nearby.
The show was brilliant great family night. Just ashame the chairs are so close to the row in front n behind n are extremely uncomfortable.. Would be lovely to be able to of sat comfy. Really great for kids and grown up. The upper circle kept its bar closed though so didn't buy anything so can't comment on prices etc n the que for the toilets were ridiculous.
The show was absolutely amazing! The seating however, was quite snug. I was sat next to a larger set lady and found myself with very limited movement throughout. The theatre itself is beautiful and the staff were friendly.
Very nice theatre with grand architecture and good location. We watched The Lion King here and it was an amazing performance. Plenty of parking options nearby (we parked in the nearby NCP). I highly recommend seats C18 and 19 in the Dress Circle which gave a nice view of the stage. I would definitely visit again.
A beautiful theatre with a wide variety of shows. The Broadway car park is about 10 mins walk away. There are bars within the theatre with some food being served during the day. Toilets on the ground floor and also the dress circle area.
