This is the most gorgeous theatre with the friendliest of staff, mostly volunteers I believe? Now in older life the one big problem is the far away parking, unable to walk far sadly , do have a disability badge but not much help there! If anything could be arranged with a local hotel etc. it would be wonderful, coming from Seaford a car is needed, especially in the cold winder nights. Otherwise Fab-U-lous!!

Lovely theatre, recently had a revamp, seats much better, walls and decor too.
Still a long queue for drinks at the bar but decent prices.
Well worth a visit, we saw GYOW (Fleetwood Mac Legacy) and loved both the show and the theatre

Great night out, reminds me of the Old Music Hall experience, good singers and dancing, and a bit of slapstick comedy.

Went to see the Lionel Richie and Diana Ross tribute acts.. The theatre is fantastic with all the friendly staff making you feel so welcomed.. This is a fab show including the great backing singers who just want to make you get up and dance .. thanks to everyone involved who made this such a fab night out.
