First time visit and couldn't ask for a better experience. Staff were fantastic, volunteers included. Had a great view, think you'd get a brilliant view wherever you are sat. Partner is disabled and uses a scooter. She found most things easy to get around. Only problem is reversing out of the lift. Not a lot of room to manoeuvre. Found a lot of public were so ignorant. One person stood leaning on the wall with his face in his phone and had to be asked to move.<br>Play was great, Spring and Port Wine. Will be back!!

Spring and port wine.<br>What an amazing play. Les Dennis played my grandad to a tee, Lol, with a fantastic cast.<br>The octagon was relaxed, had friendly front of house staff and a fantastic bar and refreshments at public house prices.<br>The big Manchester theatres could learn a lot from this operation.<br>First class experience throughout.

Bolton octagon is an amazing place.<br>The theatre has recently been refurbished. With easy access to the main entrance, accessible for wheelchairs and well lit.<br>On the ground floor there is a bar and small restaurant area with two toilets with disabled facilities.<br>To get to the other floors there are stairs and elevators staff man the area's<br>near the doors and are very helpful.<br>On the first floor there is also a small bar with tables and chairs.<br>When you book your tickets, you have an option to buy your interval drinks as these bars get very busy.<br>Inside the auditorium, the staff are helpful, seats are clearly numbered and you have plenty of room. There is access to the auditorium for the disabled and wheelchairs.

The bar and kitchen are nice enough without the theatre. The theatre didn't have a bad seat. My absolute favourite. Just watched spring and port wine there. My first straight play, and what a gorgeous intimate theatre.

A wonderful 'in the round' theatre, very intimate. In the front seats, you are immersed in the action. We saw 'Spring and Port Wine' there, brilliant cast, wonderful theatre, and a beautifully written play. What more could you want? The two leads were exceptional.

Excellent theatre, lots of staff to help you. The only thing I didn't like was that you could only pay by card, and I only had cash on me. I don't like being forced to pay by card, I prefer cash.
