Octagon Theatre
Latest Reviews
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.

We attended the Octagon last week and thoroughly enjoyed the performance of Talking Heads. However, our pre-theatre meal in the restaurant was of very variable quality. My own meal was acceptable, but my husband's chicken main was dried out of all recognition. He did complain to the waiter who collected his plate - but there was no response from management. We will continue to attend this excelllentt theatre, but won't eat there again.

I love the Octogan and regularly see performances. The quality of shows is incredible, and easily rivals some of the bigger theatres in the region.
It'd also worth noting that the Octogan has one of the best-stocked bars I've ever seen in a theatre. Wide choices of wine, beer and spirits, including gin!

Great productions

A lovely intimate theatre which generally produces enjoyable, accessible plays without stooping to patronising the audience. The current production, Talking Heads' is first rate and well worth the admission fee.

Excellent - in every way. From great customer service in the box office, to theatre experience, to brilliant and important play wonderfully acted (and directed). And, thank you, Timberlake, for writing this for Bolton.

It has been a while since visiting the theatre. The theatre space is intimate and you feel very close to the actors. The seats are comfortable with good leg room. There is good access to the higher floors with stairs and a lift. Th interior and common pars all feel a bit tired and is in need of being refreshed. New plans are afoot for widespread refurbishment. The bar area is quite large and reasonably staffed. While the cafe sells food during the day there is no significant food offering during or around the performance.
