Theater in Bradford

“Love this wee theatre... Always fun and interesting every visit ❤️”

“Lovely, cosy theatre with a wonderful community feel. Not only did we enjoy the play ("Cheaters"), which was excellent, but also we loved being a part of the audience and the convivial atmosphere. Thank you for my interval Magnum. X”

“I have danced with Spotlight officially since I was around 4 years old, up until I was 17 and have so many fond memories basically growing up with this dance school. Gill and Amy's teaching over the years has continued to be so valuable in allowing me to compete nationally at a University standard and I think it is a testament to the dance school that so many ex-pupils continue to keep in touch and frequently return. I have been able to dance in some fantastic places thanks to Spotlight, including the Alhambra Theatre and Sadler's Wells Theatre in London. It has always been a friendly and happy environment and I am grateful for all of the opportunities Spotlight gave me during my time there.”

“Lovely Theatre. Full of character and charm. One of Newcastle's treasured buildings. Well worth visiting for a show.”

“Such an authentic movie night out, including an intermission and ice cream. Comfortable chairs and reasonable legroom.”

“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”

“1st time at the Playhouse and wasn't sure what to expect, but play was excellent, well attended. Bar prices very reasonable. Good night and not expensive, will definitely buy tickets in the future.”

“The Halifax Playhouse is a lovely theatre with lots of charm and heritage behind it. The staff are very welcoming and seats are very comfortable. It's also nice visiting a theatre that allows you to get so close to the actors on stage. It's an intimate venue that we can't wait to see more plays at in the future!”

“Love the local volunteer run theatre and being a part of it for most of my life has been fantastic. From being in the shows on stage to helping build sets, run backstage or sell sweets front of house there’s something for everyone to do if wanted. Or just come along and enjoy the productions as a member of the public. That’s a very important job too! A wonderfully historic building that holds the community spirit of todmorden at its heart.”

“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”

“My 1st visit and couldn't have been happier. Every member of staff exemplary and good selection of beers. I was most pleased with the arrangement made for my accessibility needs.”

“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.”

“Matt has amazing experience and knowledge regarding mindset, acting and life in general! As my mentor he’s helped me make huge progress in my acting and personal life. He has a huge range of terrific products such as voiceover webinars, MasterClasses where you get headshots and showreel material, zoom and in-person classes and so much more! His is by far the most well rounded acting organisation I’ve had the pleasure to be part of, he has something for all ages and levels. His teachers and colleagues are amazing, classes are fun and there is loads of interaction eg. On WhatsApp groups and challenges to stretch you. I’m blessed to have met Matt and the other students and colleagues. As my mentor he has supported me daily and has made it clear how to be the best version of myself in my career and all other aspects of my life. The academy classes are incredible and so joyous and stimulating, you learn so much! You won’t regret starting with MZA!”

“My wife and I went to see a concert at The Grand recently and it was a wonderful experience. The venue is relatively small but has good acoustics making it perfect for a concert. It is very nice inside being really well maintained. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going again.”

“Went to see made in tennessee tonight, absolutely fabulous, Sang songs we know and some we didn't, but we're excellent all the same, Well done guys. Theatre could do with a bit of a revamp, just a little dated in areas.”

“Had the most wonderful day food was amazing as was the entertainment great performers and singers and the staff couldn't do enough for you nothing was too much trouble so kind and attentive will definitely go back thank you so much xx”

“Excellent for new and classic films, their museum and everything child friendly”

“The kids love it here it’s great for all ages”

“Live open mic nights on Thursday amazing atmosphere”

“Went to see the new Bridget Jones film here, what a treat this cinema is. No repetition of the same big warehouse cinemas up and down the country but a unique experience. Loved it from the box office issuing paper tickets, well priced refreshments, interesting old film and historical film information, comfy seats and lovely atmosphere in the cinema. Great night out.”

“Went to see an abba tribute band had a great night went with friends and danced the night away not done that for a very long time”

“I went to see Henry Normal and Nigel Planer. Their performance aside, the venue is good quality, intimate and perfect for a small production. We enjoyed the bar area and worth.mentioning.parking is easily available nearby. N.b. if you use the NCP car park, use the app to pay and reduce the cost by half.”

“Absolutely fantastic bunch, spellbound was brilliant as were all the other pantos we've seen here . Keep up the great work you guys are all amazing.xx”

“A great historic theatre with a very interesting past. Been three times in the past year. Centrally located and varying genres of entertainment”

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

“Went to see an abba tribute band had a great night went with friends and danced the night away not done that for a very long time”

“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.”

“Watched a film here on at least ten occasions, never an issue. Very reasonable ticket prices, booking online is even cheaper. Just like you can expect from a movie place, ridiculous food and drink prices but not an issue as Tesco is quite literally in crawling distance from the front doors. I can clarify from my own experience that Vue takes no issue with you bringing in any food or drinks from elsewhere, except (I believe) if it is hot food/drinks.”

“Quiet when we arrived at about 3.40pm. We were shown to our table. We just wanted tea, coffee and scone and tray bake. All very nice. Lovely historic location. Nice gallery of artwork. Cinema in same building. Swimming pool adjacent and lovely walks. Maximum stay in car park is 4 hours, recent price increase. Internal photo and some of Easby Abbey which is a walk away.”

“5 stars for the staff. We were standing at a concert when my daughter started to feel faint. We went to the lobby for air and the staff immediately came over to ask if they could help. They arranged some seats for us so she could still watch the band which was a very generous and caring act. Many thanks !”
