Went to see a Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve. Whilst staying almost true to the original , it was a wonderful refreshing new take on the story. Excellent actors who encourage audience participation to make an enjoyable night. Octagon staff very friendly and helpful. Running to middle of January, so highly recommended if tickets still available.

Went to The Octagan for the first time since the rebuild to watch Scrooge The Musical and had a fabulous Christmas Eve afternoon! The theatre itself is absolutely fantastic, very modern and accessible for people with disabilities like me. The show was absolutely amazing, the actors were superb and the music brilliant. Our favourite part was the ghost of Christmas present, I thought my partner was going to steel the dress at one point 😂 Seriously thought, well done everyone and we will definitely support our local theatre more in the future! Merry Christmas 🎅

Inside is lovely and welcoming.<br>Staff are friendly and helpful.<br>The only downside, I think, is that the bar gets very overcrowded, building long queues. On production evening, it would be helpful if the bars on all levels were open to allow everybody a chance to get a drink

Great place to visit. Good view of the stage. Sad to find that our drinks that we had pre ordered and paid for had been taken by others when we came out for the interval. The Octagon were great and dealt with it quickly although they shouldn't have to do that. A different arrangement may be necessary. Look forward to going in the new year!

The theatre is relatively small with the audience surrounding the 'stage', withthe front row finding their feet actually on the stage. Mid performance drinks can be ordered and paid for online. The availability of a lift means that people who are poor with stairs means that, with the exception of the 'circle' (balcony seats) may find that the seats at the rear of the main auditorium are a convenient option to the front row seating area. There is also a pre performance dining, I don't know if pre booking advisable, maybe so. The only downside is it's warren like quality, by that I refere to the nessasary narrow corridors you need to negotiate, (you will loose your sence of direction)<br>Note as a theatre in the round, the scene changes probably therefore basic scenery.

Really enjoyed a Christmas carol but I thought there should have been an age limit as the younger ones were quite distracting but the actors dealt really well with it keep up the good work and merry 🎄 xx

A lovely in the round theatre and terrific production of A Christmas Carol. Helpful and friendly volunteers on hand to guide you around and answer any questions you may have. Nicely stocked bar - good idea to pre-order drinks for the interval

Amazing performance but the restaurant is over priced for the portion size<br>Cod and chips peas were 11-25 and the fish was very small. No comparison in size from other pubs or restaurants.
