Super little theatre with good catering. Some of the rows are accessible from only one side which can be a nuisance.

It was the first time in a very long time I had visited the Octagon, I was not disappointed at all. We had booked to watch Northern Soul, and it was absolutely fantastic!
As we entered the theater the staff were extremely helpful, the bar staff were very accommodating and the when inside the little theatre the staff helped us to our seats and also interacted with the people inside, I was shown how to access the play information of the QR code. I will definitely be going again.

We started visiting the Octagon about 4 years ago and now see every production. We've yet to see a disappointing one. They have all been excellent and the theatre space is excellent with good views from all seats no matter what shape is used for a particular performance. Friendly staff and volunteers and car parks nearby all add up to an excellent venue.

We have just returned home from watching the performance of A Christmas Carol. Wow!!!! Absolutely fantastic, and as emotive as the films. The actors and actresses were magnificent performers. Our 16 year old granddaughter was with us and she said it was the best thing she had ever seen and she cannot wait for a return visit. We highly recommend a visit. All staff were welcoming, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. An absolute credit to the theatre.

A gem of a theatre for Bolton and surrounding areas. I've seen a wide variety of productions here over the years. From excellent stand up comedy, to great drama and inventive musicals. Good food in the attached restaurant and bar.
The recent production of Dickens' Christmas Carol was brilliant and entertaining.
Highly recommended venue. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
