The atmosphere, staff and environment were outstanding and we had an absolutely terrific time. The cast in Sleeping Beauty as well as the stage direction and use of set and dancing was absolutely wonderful, and I would recommend everyone to come and experience the show and see everything going on there. There’s so much on throughout the year we will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Barnsley Civic that have put so much effort into making the experience so magical.
Attended the Garden Party event on Saturday - absolutely brilliant day. Loads to see and do and the weather was kind too. Great to see the whole centre doing so well and it being so busy with increased footfall and everyone enjoying it. Had a good chat with some staff from the Civic (never been in before) and, as a result, we have booked in for two shows in October. Happy days and looking forward to it.
I visited the Civic to watch the pantomine Cinderella. Fantastic production, all the actors and dancers did amazing. The staff at the venue are kind, welcoming and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this venue
This is a quite intimate venue without being cramped. Comfortable, modern facilities in and around a grand structure in keeping with Barnsleys centre. Quiet mid week performance of Jane Austens Lady Susan. Excellent production.
Lovely venue Saw Show of Hands new show. As usual for these places no Brandy at the Bar. The only other criticism - Security staff NOT NEEDED and the one at the front messing with AND could hear her radio during performance. Totally un necessary to have SECURITY presence AT ALL especially idiot ones as above.
