Theater in Stockport

“We had our son's 11th birthday party here recently, and it was a great experience - it's such good value, especially the bowling time, the arcade games and the food is lovely. Aleina in particular was a wonderful host who took really good care of us all. This is the third year in a row we've had birthday parties at the Light, and it never disappoints!”

“Brilliant theatre. The oldest little theatre in the UK. Excellent regular variety of shows very well acted. Good bar area. The seating is comfortable and tiered so that all seats give a good view. Parking available next door with a lovely helpful chap who deserves a mention. Some notable present and past honorary members such as Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Sybil Thorndike and locally born Dame Wendy Hillier.”

“Went to see Barbie with some friends. The seats were very comfy, lots of room. The popcorn was really fresh and the hotdogs were okay. The movie watching area was cool instead of freezing (great stuff!) and it was super clean! Staff were courteous and nice”

“Amazing dance school. My son has attended for over 6 years. The teachers are incredible, it has a lovely atmosphere and they put on amazing shows at the theatre. Great school and amazing memories to be made. All types of dance to suit everybody, great confidence building. Would recommend”

“A brilliant experience. Lovely local cinema that you can book in advance to sit with a group of your family and friends. We enjoyed a great film that was better in a group.”

“Absolutely amazing priced, lovely Cinema and although small very comfy.”

“We went to see the opening night of Aladdin and it was absolutely fantastic. We all had a brilliant time. The show itself was so entertaining having us all laughing and singing or clapping along. Everything was also really well organised. Fantastic family night out for a group age 5 to 73. Thank you and good luck for the rest.”

“Great venue for stand up comedy, not so big that you lose the feeling of being part of the show. Good slope on the seating so the view from further back is still ok. Comfy seats, easy to get in and out, lots of parking nearby.”

“Really good beer here and a great venue. I recommend it if you are in the area. The drinks aren't cheap but I've never thought they were over priced.”

“Went to see One Man 2 Governors last night. It was Fabulous, every part was superbly cast. Absolutely hilarious, literally laughed our socks off all the way through. What a great night night out. If I could change my plans this weekend I would go again. Thank you.”

“Fantastic theatre we visited for the last night of the summer panto Sleeping Beauty the cast were amazing and really comical, our 2 sons were in hysterics they couldn't stop laughing, we took our own snacks and drinks in as we were on a budget with our holiday being a week later, we would definitely visit again.”

“Chestnut Theatre School is just fantastic! My daughter has been going for two years, and it's been amazing to see her come out of her shell. She used to be so shy, but now she's much more confident and loves going to her drama classes. The teachers are so kind and really know how to make the kids feel good about themselves. It's not just about acting; it's like a little confidence boost every week! If you have a shy kiddo, I highly recommend giving Chestnut Theatre School a try – it's made a real difference for us!”

“Last night's show was well presented it involved children of all ages and abilities who all displayed confidents.”

“Staff are amazing and nurturing here, helped children settle in well!”

“Just love it! Great little Theatre. Excellent team. Very friendly and good bar.”

“"Some to Watch over me" absolutely brilliant performances by all the cast. Takes you on an emotional and thought provoking journey. The human will to survive and its sense of humour in all situations. Well done to all involved. A great theatre and very welcoming crew.”

“Great venue. Good sound and nice acoustics. The sloped standing area makes it very easy for everyone to enjoy the show.”

“Awesome friendly little boozer, great range of cask and keg plus quality back bar selection. Ran by a lovely couple, sports friendly and also very welcoming to dogs :). Food is banging and great portion size for the price, whole heartedly recommended.”

“Great experience! We took 5 kids bowling for my daughter’s 7th Birthday. The staff were great. We asked to switch lanes to give us a bit more space and they did so happily. We ordered drinks for all of the kids and 2 coffees for us, all great. Sharon was especially friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great time!”

“Such a fabulous little hidden gem. A lovely theatre space and loved the show. So funny and a real good night out. Looking forward to seeing the next production.”

“Wonderful musical theatre group, the children enjoy and learn”

“A wonderful positive and exciting place for Performing Arts”

“Our daughter has been going here for a few years now. Brilliant dance school - teachers are fantastic, and very welcoming”
