Theater seating in Manchester

“Free parking (When you show your cinema ticket to the staff ask for parking validation. They will give you a card. Before you exit the building after your movie ends, go to the parking machine. Type in your car reg and the code, this will validate your parking) Great Cinema. Recliner seats, which are very comfortable. The staff are always welcoming and nice.”

“My Visit to the Opera House Manchester My visit to the Opera House Manchester was an unforgettable cultural experience. This historic theatre, opened in 1912, is one of Manchester’s most elegant and iconic performance venues. With its beautifully restored Edwardian architecture, plush seating, and grand interior, it offers the perfect setting for musicals, concerts, ballets, and drama performances. The atmosphere inside was vibrant and welcoming. The acoustics were excellent, and the staff were friendly and well-organized, ensuring a smooth entry and interval experience. The show I attended was brilliantly produced — a true reflection of Manchester’s rich performing arts scene. Visitor Tips: Book tickets in advance through the ATG Tickets website for the best seats. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to enjoy the lobby and grab a drink at the theatre bar. Photography is usually not allowed during shows, so plan to enjoy the performance fully. How to Reach: The Opera House is located on Quay Street, Manchester M3 3HP, near Deansgate. It’s easily accessible by tram (St. Peter’s Square or Deansgate-Castlefield stops), bus, or a 10-minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road Station. There are also several parking options nearby, including Spinningfields Car Park. A visit to the Opera House is a must for anyone who loves theatre, music, and Manchester’s timeless charm — a perfect evening of culture and entertainment.”

“Watched The Lion King at the Palace Theatre and it was absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere in the theatre itself is grand and historic, with great acoustics and comfortable seating. The performance was world-class, from the costumes and stage design to the music, everything was magical and immersive. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-organised. Truly one of those shows that stays with you long after the curtain falls. Highly recommend both the venue and the production!”

“Very nice atmosphere and large screen with plenty of comfortable sitting, the one was choose it was 4K HD screen with leather sofas, perfect place to spend some quality time. It’s inside the print works so you can either drive or walk in.”

“My stay at satori was really good. They gave me all the information I needed with plenty of time and had great communication. The rooms were better than I expected and the amenities provided made it feel even more homely.”

“We hired the marvel bouncy castle and slide for my little ones 4th birthday. The kids had an absolute blast on it. The added feature of a slide kept them entertained for hours. The company were very professional, arrived promptly and good communication. Would really recommend and will be using again. Thankyou!”

“What a fabulous venue. Arriving at this huge grade 2 listed building (dead easy to reach with free parking) I felt somewhat in awe. The mill is massive, an incredible and a fascinating glimpse of history. It's a bit of a hike and a climb (although there is a lift) to get to the cinema. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The screen is fine and the projection as good as anywhere. The seats are comfortable and there is leg room. It was terrific to watch two superb old Hammer Horror films. The area has been crying out for such a cinema. I will certainly visit again. .”

“Went to the matinee of Ghost Train on 17th May. Good fun with a pinch of suspense. Front of house staff friendly & welcoming.”

“Our first visit to Knutsford Little Theatre, and boy! Did this venue deliver! Seats are limited, but that means you're always going to be close to the stage! The show we saw, Together for Theatre's "Into the Spotlight", was fantastic, and it was clear that there were up to date lighting, sound and stage equipment available! We enjoyed a drink in their bar, and appreciated the service and assistance of staff whenever sought... I currently have mobility issues and found it easy to navigate. Parking is limited on the street, but there was a nearby car park in easy walking distance, even for me! I highly recommend this venue!”

“The Ayckbourn play was enjoyable, well versed with great players. Thoroughly enjoyed the night. The staff are friendly and accommodating.”

“Repaired a Samsung TV's back light for me and fitted it on my bedroom wall. Excellent and quick work by Davood. Very fair price.”

“Had a great time at an adult panto. The venue was fab great drinks and pizza too! No such thing as a bad seat at this venue.”

“Went to see a stage play The Father. Tremendous show, very well presented. Lovely theatre. Highly recommended.”

“Come one lunchtime (Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday in term time) to the carol Nash hall to enjoy competent students from Chethams music school. Tickets (free) available on line. There’s soup and a roll available in the foyer for £3.50 in a cup. The music will be classical and perhaps be unknown to some but it’s marvellous to sit in a comfortable modern space. I’ve never so far, been to an evening concert there but intend to now. It’s very handy for Victoria train/ tram station.”

“Great little cinema which is made especially enjoyable by the little introduction that the staff do on each film, giving a little insight into how it was made, or other films the director has made. The place is welcoming to everyone, and when my partner and I went to watch The Handmaiden, there were a wide variety of people in the audience, which is always good to see.”

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

“What a fabulous throw back to the glamour days of the cinema. Totally charming old school cinema. Had a sofa to watch the film on !!! Towels in the bathrooms to dry your hands ? What a fabulous place, love it.”

“Absolutely fabulous night watching the production of 'Dad's Army'. Characters were so true to TV adaptation. Singing WW2 songs in the audience really added to the ambience.”

“Hidden gem, great size stage comfortable seats and great atmosphere. Could do with plastic glasses for theatre drinks but not a Biggie.”

“Great to see the contemporary dance performance 'shed' by the Northern Rascals dance company at the Partington. Such a great performance dealing with timeless issues in a contemporary way in a performance which really spoke to me. Wonderful to have touring acts perform at this venue (let's bring more if we can!) as well as traditional theatre performances by the players.”

“Wonderful, modern theatre with comfortable seats, lovely clean lavatories,a well stocked bar and great volunteer helpers.”

“We were fortunate to have Pomegranate provide catering for our mum's 85th birthday celebrations and it was amazing! The quality of the food was great and they are lovely people. Also a lovely restaurant to visit. Highly recommend!”

“Went to watch Cinderella over the Christmas period. The cast were brilliant and the script very well written. As others have mentioned, the ugly sisters were the stars of the show with lots of interaction with the audience. Overall, very good value for money on the initial purchasing of tickets and what the play delivered. I wasn't sure on the parking arrangements and it appears limited where you can park but there were some spaces behind and around the row of shops. We caught the bus to the local precinct and walked the 10 minutes so that is a viable option. The venue itself has food and drink on sale that is very reasonably priced and you can pay both with cash and card. It is a small venue that until recently I did not know even existed. It's intimate and seating, while seen better days, was adequate and even after the near 3 hours being there, was not feeling uncomfortable. Overall, an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon with family”

“Fantastic theatre experience! The performances are always high quality, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere and a perfect place to enjoy live shows. Highly recommend visiting Quays Theatre!”

“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!”

“A perfect representation of community theatre and all that it embodies. A truly valued asset that is kept vibrant, modern and popular by all that support and maintain the building. Accessibility is great and cares for its older members. A centre point for home grown, natured talent that is of a professional standard in all aspects of theatre from stage, performance, lighting and backstage. I encourage all to visit, support in any way you can. A real jewel nestled in the High Peak.”

“We really enjoyed the sound of music, great little theatre. Well worth it”
