   A very family friendly place with a good choice of food, I'd particularly recommend the chocolate cake.

   This is a lovey little theatre in a very good location for parking and the town centre. We took our grandchildren to the panto.. All the Staffa are so friendly and helpful, free cloakroom, easy access to snacks and treats within. The seating is well tiered to ensure good views of the stage. Lots of different shows on all year. Quite a gem.

   Small arts venue in the centre of Didcot. Been there a couple of times for comedy gigs. The auditorium seats maybe 350 on retractable banked seating, so views are good wherever you're sat. Bar service can get bust at interval times, but not too bad overall. Pleasant venue & parking in the nearby Orchard Centre car park is easy for evening performances. Worth keeping an eye on who's coming as there's some recognisable names on the listings.

   An amazing local venue (seats 300) for theatre shows, live music and comfy nights. Always a range of performances available to suit all tastes. They host a local beer festival each year. Members get discount on tickets and drinks at the bar and this is worth having for the small annual fee if you live locally and would go more than 5 times in a year. The discounts we have gained have paid for the membership already and still have 7 months left. The cakes here are great, coffee is nice and they serve local beer. Staff are friendly and very informative. Clockroom available when performances are on. Update, more and more live performances are now available for booking. Will be back later in the week for Mark Watson. Update 2, been to 4 events in the past 2 months, Urban Folk Quartet (excellent) Voodoo Room, and All Floyd (very good) all music acts and last night Sherlock Holmes from a local theatre company (excellent). The Sherlock company were quality actors and worthy of much larger venues but please return to Didcot and Cornerstone. It's great the quality of the acts which have been booked so far in 2023.

   Great small venue. Bar available on gig nights and has Loose Cannon beer. Seats in the venue are cosy but okay. If you are sat in middle of the row please don't arrive last, it is just annoying to everyone else. Venue staff are always pleasant and helpful. Toilets are clean and rarely have to queue. Pretty good place all round!

   I only visited the cafe so that's what I will talk about. A lovely addition to Didcot's growing food and drink and just hanging out scene. The day we went they were understaffed but up front about it, and if you are not in a hurry and want a chilled out vibe with some really tasty sandwich-type food cakes and drinks ( not really set up as a full kitchen) then this is the place. The staff were warm and generally delightful. As I will be moving into the area soon I am really happy that this place exists. I can see lots of friendships being made and strengthened here over a delicious bagel or bowl of soup.

   This is a great place to go - especially if you are disabled and using a wheelchair. Everything is accessible and they do some great shows. Actually, their programming for shows is second to non considering that it's in Didcot of all places. The programmer must be well connected and know their stuff as we are used to seeing these kind of shows in very art house theatres in London and other cities. My only critism is of the cafe. The cafe is great - but not so much for the wheelchair user if you're ordering as the counter is very high and far back. Thankfully I'm usually with others who can help. But other people might not have this privilege. Also, the entire building is very autism friendly - except for the cafe. If you have autism as all of my family do then you really might struggle with the cafe. So either being packed lunch or use one of rhe many, many restaurants or eateries available just outside the door of this building.

   Visited to see A Christmas Carol which was beyond superb. 3rd show we've seen there and they've all been good but this was exceptional. Such entertainment without me need to travel into London.
