The venue was excellent for the Christmas pantomime. Lots of laughter and audience participation… very close to all the action on stage… An excellent family evening out. – Trip Advisor
… fab cast, great music, well produced, lots of laughs and probably the best Panto I have ever been to. The theatre is a great size, not too large and with excellent views from all seats. – Google Review
We took our foster kids opening night, they’ve never been to a panto before, they had an absolute blast and said it was the best day ever! Thank you and we’ll be back again next year! – Facebook
