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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gorgeous little venue, I've seen a couple shows here and they've really been spot on. Auditorium seats are comfortable and all around gave a good experience. The staff are friendly, and the restaurant is pretty decent too!

We went to see The Memory of Water at the Octagon. It's a lovely little theatre, with interesting and varied shows. The play We saw was very well done and had the audience gripped.
We sat in the middle of the stalls, but I'd say that all seats have a good view. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The bar/cafe is nice and the interval drinks order service was very efficient.
We'll definitely be back for some other shows.

Watched the Memory of Water. Not heard of the play or Shelagh Stephenson but really enjoyed it. Well acted and well written. A lovely surprise.
