Octagon Theatre
Latest Reviews
The Octagon is a small friendly theatre in the (nearly) round - more accurately in the octagon!
The production we saw was a musical version of the Christmas Carol, and was played by a small cast, each taking several parts.
It was well played! Sufficiently well played that I didn't enjoy it. I'm no fan of Dickens, not enjoying his emotional roller coasters, and wouldn't have gone if the family hadn't decided we would. There was much emotional roller coasting, which left me, as it always does, emotionally stressed!

Just been to see 'A Christmas Carol' - it was a really slick, professional & enjoyable show in a lovely theatre in high the 'stage' is actually the central floor area, fully surrounded by the audience seating. & the theatre bar & dining areas are nicely presented & well staffed (though the coffee machine became quite a bottle-neck & slowed down the service).

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.

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.
