Just watched the virtual Sleeping Beauty 2020 panto. It was brilliant! So much hard work must have gone into this production, a shame no one could hear our laughter, cheering and clapping! Well done to all involved and thank you.

Thankyou for going to so much effort to make the Xmas spectacular such a good night. After the year we have had it was extra special to have a safe place to come to, to enjoy first class entertainment. Beautiful theatre, extra care to make it safe for us, friendly, professional and thoroughly enjoyable. I didn't feel like I was alone, I felt I was among friends. Loved it!

We've just got back from the 2020 Christmas show and it was absolutely brilliant! The singing, dancing and comedy were great and it was fantastic to be back seeing a live show again.

Covid precautions were excellent, track and trace via the NHS Covid 19 App, temperature checks on arrival, hand sanitiser, distanced queueing systems to enter and to get drinks/snacks, plenty of space between seats with masks required at all times.

Never been to the tribute act of fleetwood mac or the royal hippodrome and thought we would give it a go!
Definatly not dissapointed, was much better venue than expected. With the small expeption of trying to find parking.
