One of the jewels of Bolton. A very intimate experience, along with a cracking cafe, great staff, and amazing talent, make The Octagon a definite must.

Brilliant performance last night, well deserved standing ovation. Superb acting, great set, took us through the gamut of emotion. Made us think...better to have someone dead than being abandoned by them?

We have been to this theatre quite a few times, everything we have seen has been brilliant, the staff are always friendly and the toilets are always clean. Tonight we went to see Marta, Josie and Chinese elvis, well what can I say it was absolutely brilliant, it was a tear jerker, funny , uplifting play, the actors were fantastic , I loved the surprise at the end when the snow fell over the audience what a lovely touch to a amazing performance.

Although we had seen the play before so there was no surprises it was good to see another version. This was excellent. The staging and acting were brilliant and the writing had withstood the vagaries of time. The two teenagers with us were blown away by it and were very eager to see the new Two 2.

Went to the octagon to see a play "two2" by Jim Cartwright. The whole evening was an absolute pleasure. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves lovely food at sensible prices. The auditorium is small and intimate. Every seat has an amazing view and is very comfortable. Would recommend a visit to anyone.

We took the grandchildren in January to see the B F G. The seating, as ever, was excellent. No problem for young children to see everything. They loved it! The production was really good and the children could easily relate to the story. The adults even managed a drink at the interval. A good time was had by all. An excellent night out.

Fantastic theatre, with great productions. No seats are far from the actors.

Lovely theatre with cafe/bar area downstairs. Seen a few productions here over the years and even though I am deaf the sound quality is very good. The stage is set in the middle with seating on three sides. I've noticed Wheelchairs and disabled patrons sitting around the front edges of the stage and all the staff are unfailingly pleasant and helpful.

What an entertaining evening at the octagons production of TO.,.. I saw the same production twenty years ago and the recent one was just as good. It was great to see such a wide age range in the audience laughing together. The atmosphere at the octagon is very welcoming can't wait for the February production of To 2

Although this is only a small theatre have visited on several occasions, having seen some fantastic play's, music concerts and pantomines. Well worth a visit.

A Christmas holiday treat with our grandchildren. Theatre is small, friendly and intimate. There are no bad seats and sound quality is first class.
The refurbishment of the restaurant on the ground floor and improved bar area on the first floor have enhanced things from previous visits.
Car parking at reasonable cost at the multi storey car park next is extremely convenient and easy

I went to Octagon Theatre in Bolton for the first time on 2nd February 2016 to see Jim Cartwright's play Two, which was amazing and beautiful acting. The Octagon Theatre had a great atmosphere and looking forward to going back to watch many more plays.

Watched a great play with a wonderful 2 handed cast, full house on a Wednesday shows the magnetic draw of the play and the writer. Can not wait for the next play Two + 2 later this month. The octagon is a gem in in the theatre world and well worth a visit

We took 3 11 and unders to the BFG for a Xmas treat. It was a wonderfully imaginative production with a clever mix of puppets and humans. The design was very clever and we loved the dream sequences. The Giants were a particular favourite especially when they were in the audience. It wasn't too expensive for theatre tickets these days although we did sit on the top balcony; it was still a really good view though!! I've not been to the Octagon for ages and was really impressed with the standard of both show and welcome. Do go and see it and support local theatre!!!

As a group of over 200 children and staff we were warmly welcomed at The Octagon Theatre. The play was brilliant, the actors were very good and the children loved the performance. Well done also to the props people as they were also magnificent.The only down side was we put an order in, when we arrived for staff drinks so that they would be ready for collection at the interval and the drinks were still being poured as the three minute return to your seats warning was announced. The lady serving us was apologetic and was slowed down by the drinks machine being very slow. Again a great, show, great staff and a wonderful treat for all that watched.

Bolton's local theatre is a great place to visit.
The productions are always excellent and it's reasonably priced

We loved the BFG play because it was funny and unique. We liked it when the BFG caught other people's dreams and we especially liked it when we got to watch the dreams. Our favourite bit was when the other Giants went to Sweden to eat the other people. We also liked it when the school teacher started to dance that was really funny. We loved when the young boy who was doing his homework and then the phone rang so the dad came out of the shower only with a towel and was covered in soap.
