Saw a Christmas carol here with the kids. What an amazing place this truly is. You sit surrounding the stage and it makes for a very unique experience. Bravo to the actors & actresses for a great production. Will be back in December.<br><br>The theatre was clean, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Cannot rate this place high enough.

A fabulous theatre to go and see productions, pretty much all the seats give a full view, won't spoil the performance in any way. With enough bars for pre drinks and able to pre order at half time and reasonably priced. Ladies have a bit if a queue for the bathroom at peak times, gents OK. Now with a restaurant on the ground floor, have yet to try for the food.

Went to see today’s performance (29th Dec) with all the family. Superb entertainment and a great take on a well established story. The cast and support were uniformly excellent and worked incredibly hard across a number of parts, including providing the music. The audience participation was good fun too. Only a couple of weeks to go before the show closes, but would highly recommend.

Always a lovely experience in this gorgeous, intimate theatre. A thoroughly enjoyable interpretation of a Christmas Carol made fun and engaging by the multi-talented cast. Some care needed with the acoustics, using mics is great when it's performed in the round but the instruments can drown out the vocal at times..

Excellent venue where you really feel close to the actors, surrounding the stage.

Our recent trip was to watch A Christmas Carol, which was fabulous - one of the best shows we've ever seen.

We love putting money into local theatres, but I feel the proving here makes it inaccessible to young people - ticket prices were Β£28 for children (Β£35 for adults) and two beers, two kids drinks and 3 pasties were Β£28...it made a mockery of the bucket collection and plea for donations to make the arts accessible for children at the end.

At those prices (similar prices paid at the Lowry, in Manchester, and even in London for some shows, I fear that great local theatre is dying out.

Still fantastic, but such a shame it's priced as it is (as a result I saw very little children and the stalls seemed to be filled largely by what appeared to be retired theatre-goers).

Spent our Christmas Eve 2022 watching the Christmas Carol here. We had a wonderful evening. Excellent creative twist on the Christmas Carol. Fantastic production, it was clear the cast had put their heart and sole into it. Even the lady standing in at short notice (who had a beautiful voice). The modernisation and investment has made a clear improvement. We are looking forward to our next visit ☺️
