Great service! Got my car key cut today and the staff were very professional and helpful. Spoke with a gentleman on the phone before visiting who gave great advice, and both he and the lady at the front desk provided excellent customer service. First time here and very impressed – highly recommend!

Just amazing. It’s a small theatre with fantastic service, lots of people to help you find your way about. A very easy interval drink ordering system. I had a great time.

I went to the matinee performance of Pride and Prejudice.
What a fantastic production, such an amazing cast and a truly excellent script.
The music too is very clever.
I couldn't single out just one person, because they were all just brilliant!
So brilliant even, that my friend didn't even realise that Mary (played with great comedic effect) and Mr Bingley were the same actor.
Mr Collins AKA Mr Wickham was so odious and very funny.
Mr Bennett also played Anne, so farcical and great fun.
The actor playing Mrs Bennett was the best portrayal of this character that I've ever seen, and the fact that she was on crutches as she scooted about, just added to the whole performance.
Mr D'arcy, well, his first appearance had the desired effect and when he just uttered the line with only one word: "Good", I nearly fell off my chair laughing.
In the scene when he and Elizabeth were about to join hands, I felt the emotional tension between them crackle.
The last scene was genius and had me feeling so emotional
It was all so immersive, made even more so because of the octagonal shape of the stage.
The costumes, music and lighting, all first class.
The direction too, was so clever, particularly when the actors were moving the furniture around and Mr Collins did so whilst still in character, that was hysterical
It was all, just so splendid!

A great evening was had at the theatre where we watched a performance of Pride and Prejudice. Our seats gave a fantastic view of the show as the seats form a circle around the stage. The onsite bar provided a good choice of coffee and drinks. Ice cream during the interval too!
