Opera house in Bradford

“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.”

“The guided tours are excellent. The volunteer guides are friendly and knowledgable and you get to see the backstage areas and dressing rooms in addition to the auditorium. The intricate Victorian machinery beneath the stage to operate the trapdoors is especially interesting. And you get a free coffee or tea afterwards.”

“Called in today en route to (playing sax at) a wedding, bought a very tasty egg mayo sandwich! Would highly recommend for anyone travelling on the A59 between Skipton & Gisburn: hot & cold food, provisions and excellent service from Laura, the lovely owner.”

“We came to The Mechanics on my birthday to see Buble by Candlenight. It was a slick and professional performance which we really enjoyed. The raised seating area gave us a fabulous view and the acoustics were great.”

“Excellent panto again this year. The cast, the set, the story were all excellent. The music was brilliant too - the sweetie song (naming all the different sweets & chocs) and the medley (between spite and cupid) were real highlights. Loved the audience interaction and the jokes. LBT is our favourite venue, its big enough to feel grand and have a great atmosphere but small enough to easily see what's going on and feel intimate. We're so pleased to have this on our doorstep”

“Wonderful venue. Drinks a little pricey but worth it to spend a few hour's listening to a favourite group.”

“A wonderful place to rehearse and see amateur theatre and rent for private functions. Beautiful space, cheap bar, keep an eye out for things there”

“Meant to put this review on a few weeks ago! We went in on the Sunday night of the Saltaire festival and the guy that was working there (ahhh we asked his name but didn’t write it down so sadly we have forgotten his name!) was just SO lovely! His customer service skills stood out in a day and age where sadly customer service skills are lacking in many, many establishments. He was friendly and chatty and genuinely looked happy to be there in his place of work. 10/10 We look forward to popping in again.”
