The Quay is a lovely, quaint, cosy little theatre, that brings the big shows in for those that can't get to or don't like the city. Shows from the National Theatre and the Royal Opera House without needing a train to London! Drama, comedy, tribute music acts, there's something for everyone. We've been to many of the tribute act nights and the atmosphere and energy radiates from the band to the audience and back again, just fabulous! A great night out with a good bar too.

The Quay is a small theatre where you really feel part of the performance. Tribute acts are a winner and with many, if you close your eyes, you could be listening to the original. Long may it continue

Such a beautiful venue in a beautiful town. They have excellent entertainment and some of the best tribute acts available. A nice bar with a decent range of drinks.

Lovely friendly theatre. Very high standard production! First time visiting so wasn't sure what to expect, especially as was advertised as an amateur production. We watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a day. In my view it was even better than the film version that we had watched!

Went to see James Phelan the magician. Lovely intimate venue. Plenty of parking and lovely setting next to the river. Various artwork displayed on the walls. Ground floor has seating and the toilets are also located here. First floor is the entrance to the theatre. The second floor has a bar for drinks and snacks with a large seating area. Just to the left is another seating area with nice view's out of the large windows. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the whole premises are clean and tidy 10/10 💖

I love this theatre. Small so you feel very involved with productions.

Compact venue that would have been excellent if the night had not been spoiled by a minority of drunken chavs.

Saw a film this time on my visit.
Was a bit early so took advantage of the bar upstairs. I ordered a filter coffee which pleasantly came in a large mug and proper milk too which was a nice change. The venue is small but surprisingly spacious. Always immaculately spotless as are the toilets. Welcoming staff, always smiling. A must visit.

Great to go back to The Quay in Sudbury. A well run small theatre. Tickets on line, a parking space, a beer at the bar, helpful staff, a great band, a lovely atmosphere, made for a very enjoyable evening - long may they continue! For five stars..... I think the seats could be bolted down or braced a little more (when the 'senior cits' started bopping to the band I felt the need for a seat belt!😄) and perhaps some more light in the car park. Other than that, perfect!

Nice little theatre, staff are friendly and very helpful. Great little bar and good prices. Seats are a tad uncomfortable after sitting for a long time but if you’re engrossed in a production then you’ll soon forget about that.

There is parking available but would suggest anyone getting there early so you don’t miss out on a parking space.
