Latest Reviews
A gem of a theatre for Bolton and surrounding areas. I've seen a wide variety of productions here over the years. From excellent stand up comedy, to great drama and inventive musicals. Good food in the attached restaurant and bar.
The recent production of Dickens' Christmas Carol was brilliant and entertaining.
Highly recommended venue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have just returned home from watching the performance of A Christmas Carol. Wow!!!! Absolutely fantastic, and as emotive as the films. The actors and actresses were magnificent performers. Our 16 year old granddaughter was with us and she said it was the best thing she had ever seen and she cannot wait for a return visit. We highly recommend a visit. All staff were welcoming, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. An absolute credit to the theatre.

Went to see "A Christmas Carol". The theatre is excellent. You feel close to the performance, everyone gets a good view. The staff are friendly and helpful and its easy to park near by. The performance was very well done. It was familiar yet fresh. Well worth a visit.

We recently visited to watch Christmas Carol and it was an outstanding performance! All of the actors and stage staff were absolutely wonderful, and gave an engaging and magical performance. Definitely feeling Christmassy now! I would recommend this show to anyone.
The venue itself provided a unique experience for us, with the main theatre being a 360° stage. The bars and cafe were great, with delicious food. We had a lovely day out here.

We started visiting the Octagon about 4 years ago and now see every production. We've yet to see a disappointing one. They have all been excellent and the theatre space is excellent with good views from all seats no matter what shape is used for a particular performance. Friendly staff and volunteers and car parks nearby all add up to an excellent venue.

Very old fashioned old school theatre.

Great place especially after the refurbishment. Great viewing, in the round, so the actors make sure they move around the central stage giving everyone a fair chance of seeing and hearing them clearly. Lovely bar areas on all 3 levels.
