The slides were very difficult to see but the children behaved well.

Just walked out of the theatre this afternoon during a showing of the film Manchester by the Sea. What an obscene film, the language was appalling and the sound was so loud it made our ears ring. Bad choice of film Quay management, I can't believe we were the only patrons to walk out. We usually love the selection of performances whether plays, ballets or whatever but this in our opinion was a mistake.

This is a great Theatre set in a lovely quayside location. The Quay puts on a wide variety of entertainment and shows ranging from comedy, musicals, drama and film. I particularly enjoyed the first Quay Film Festival in June which screened some great new feature films and had a good programme of shorts. There is also a wonderful bar to enjoy an after show drink in.

Very small, wonderful view to get close up to the act on stage. I understand food is served Friday's & Saturday and I'm told is excellent.

A fabulous theatre for plays, comedy and musical performances. Must mention the bar upstairs which is open to everyone. Great atmosphere and very friendly theatre members and staff. The auditorium has wheel chair access.

Small but more than made up for by the productions, films, comedy and music nights and recently, screenings of west end plays, opera and ballet. Lovely front of house staff (mostly volunteers). Highly recommended. A real 'gem' in the heart of our lovely town.

We went to see the pantomime at the Quay, such a cute theatre. The staff on the front of house were very welcoming and friendly. The show itself was great, the kids loved it.
The only negative was that the theatre was quite cold and we all sat in our coats and scarfs.

Will definitely be booking for next years show.

Great little venue that's been going for donkeys years. Saw a panto here recently and it was as lovely as I remember from when my parents used to bring me here as a kid. Fab building on a quay by the river, it has a well stocked bar, some snacks, friendly staff, lots of parking and puts on a variety of performances, music and films. Will definitely look to come again soon.

Do visit the Quay. There is plenty of free parking, a warm and inviting foyer with friendly receptionist. Go upstairs to a cosy bar for pre-theatre and interval drinks or coffee.
The theatre has about 120 seats so is intimate and atmospheric. Never so far back that you cannot see. The temperature was good, perhaps a bit hot. Seats alongside the aisle are preferable but any seat would be OK. My friends and I saw Gaslight recently and the tickets were a mere £9 each. We all thoroughly enjoyed the play and thought the actors were excellent. We sat towards the back and the sound was perfect.
Sudbury is so fortunate to have The Quay Theatre, and I am sure you would enjoy a vist. Booking online is very easy and I am sure your support would be appreciated.

Went to see The Haunting of Exham Priory here and it was fantastic.
Excellent venue, has a bar and a nice size so as not to be too crowded.
Will go again anytime.
Highly recommended.
