Excellent performance from adult players and especially well done to the children who knew all their lines, excellent timing and never missed a cue. Thoroughly enjoyed "A Christmas Carol"
Lovely local theatre. Went to see The Coiners Wife here. There’s a car park next door which is free after 6pm. Didn’t have a ticket but was able to turn up and buy from the box office on site. Toilets all clean. Bar area downstairs. Little shop upstairs selling popcorn and ice cream.
It was a pleasure for the band to play here for our first show in 2022. The theatre (a former Methodist church) has bags of character and delightful reception areas with a kiosk & bar. The backstage staff were extremely accommodating setting up our vast show - many thanks!
What a great venue for amateur theatre to perform in. Bar downstairs, large stage and technical set up. Go see a show there if you can.
Really enjoyed lovey family theatre adult rated performances as well. Nice and clean staff friendly quick bar service variety snacks. Very good show. Thank you we will be back
