It has been many, many years since my last visit to the Octagon, and I couldn't praise the staff highly enough for how well they looked after me.
I started my visit in the Bistro, where the team was so nice, helpful, and kind. My compliments to the chef and the people in the kitchen because the food was fantastic! I had the soup and a roll which was absolutely gorgeous, followed by the fish goujons on a baguette with sweet potato fries and salad, which was just divine.
As the Bistro started getting a bit noisier with everyone enjoying themselves, an accessibility attendant named Emma kindly took me up in the lift to a lovely, quiet room on the top floor. It was such a thoughtful gesture. While I was there, I had a wonderful chat with a very nice lady who had travelled all the way from Derbyshire to see the show! We got on so well that we are hoping to meet up again soon to see Sunset Boulevard when it comes to the Octagon.
Emma looked after me right the way through the rest of the performance. The show itself, Calendar Girls, was brilliant—incredibly funny, deeply emotional, and performed by a group of very talented actors. I am so glad I went.
The only downside to the whole day was the journey home—due to the traffic, it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get the bus back instead of the usual 16 minutes! However, the experience at the theatre was so wonderful that it was still well worth it. I highly recommend visiting!
Just an extra add-on from me so you're not disappointed: make sure you ring up and book a table for the Bistro ahead of time. I booked mine, but while I was there, I saw other people being turned away because they were completely fully booked!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely wonderful afternoon out – well worth every single penny!
