Never disappointed by our visits to the Octagon, this company will showcase new productions and present classic plays with equal measure.
Staff are always friendly and helpful, clearly theatre is their passion and their enthusiasm is infectious. I like the way you can take your tipple into the auditorium, thanks to the plastic glasses provided at the bar. The same receptacles are supplied for sweets to be shared without rustling plastic annoyance!

Went to watch Rita Sue and Bob 2 and was disappointed the actors where good and we had laugh but the props they used 4 old seats out of a car looked so pathetic I've seen better props at a school play .For how much we paid for the seats you expect it to be a bit better .

Went as part of the Bolton Food and Drink Festival experience with my children so not for its primary purpose of being a theatre. However, the theatre will be undergoing some major renovations soon which, in my opinion, are much needed as the furniture looked very dated and not in a particularly good state. Drinks are also expensive here. Hopefully will be back once the renovations have been completed to watch some of the fantastic productions on here.

The Octagon always puts on first class productions, attracting experienced actors. The front of house staff are very welcoming. There is a well stocked bar with good seating and smart cafe, serving snacks and main meals.

There are 2 wheelchair spaces up in the gallery. Which means you looking down with a great view and not up from the floor.

Went to see Cinderella back in January but left it late to book, best available slot left was a special showing aimed at children and groups, this performance was so great as it was a lot more interactive you actually felt a part of the show, and casting rats as the good guys! a fabulous twist, really made the show come alive. Been to the octagon a few times now always a cosy atmosphere rather than a large auditorium which feels more impersonal but this performance was just Wow!!

Excellent value for money. Pleasant service and reasonable choice of menu at the cafe attached to the theatre. Good coffee and generous portions - beware of the large soup it might defeat even the most determined diner.
