We watched Animal Farm. The show was great.
The team on site are very welcoming. You are able to pre order half time snacks and drinks in advance to allow you to avoid the queue (which moves quickly) during the interval.
The theatre is fresh inside and is accessible.
Our seats were a bit short on leg room, my dad asked an usher if he would be able to move to a free seat with more leg room. It was sorted with no fuss.
Everything was reasonably priced and I would have no issues recommending the venue to you.

Staff were friendly and accommodating but I'd expected the food to be a little more exciting, I had the Lancashire rarebit and to be honest I was a little disappointed as it wasn't overly flavoursome aside from possibly some celery salt it was just cheese on toast. Don't think I'll be rushing back, sorry!

I went to see Journey’s End, a play about the Second World War and thought the acting was superb. It is an unusual theatre with the seats being all around the centre area where the play was performed so it did seem a bit strange at first with not all looking towards a main stage. It was a long play and started at 2 pm and ended at 5 pm with a short break but certainly kept your interest.

Took my girlfriend to see the latest production of Journey's End and it was superb. Despite it being a long play, the time flew by as it was riveting. the staff within the bar are warm and helpful. I will be going again during the current season.

Attended the 'Journeys End' evening showing. The play is good and the theater itself is also very good, there is not a bad seat but the reason I felt I had to review was the average quality food in the newly refurbished cafe bar. The sardines on toast was literally two whole sardines on dry toasted bread, need I say more? The cod loin was a tiny portion & pretty tasteless. The 'stonebaked pizza' was a pre packed/frozen pizza swimming in cheap cheese and sugary tomato sauce. Truly disappointed for the grand price of £30 including a coke and a beer. Will not be returning to Eight cafe bar.

Absolutely love this place. The productions they put on are always excellent and attracts some very good actors. The surroundings are comfy and the seating is good with views of the stage from all around with very little restrictions. The bar area is well organised and we had a very good night

The Resident Director David Thacker has helped the Octagon achieve a lot theatrically. The seasonal program of plays is varied and often includes work by local playwrights. But Thacker also regularly stages classic American playwrights. We particularly enjoy the performances when after the show the Audience is invited to stay for a discussion with the Director and Cast. This costs nothing extra so is a real Bonus and usually lasts for about 1/2 hour. Here is a thriving provincial theatre staging really good work every time. The recent refurbishment has seen welcome improvement s to the Bar and Dining areas. We go to at least 3 shows a season.
