First time at the crucible to watch A Christmas Carol and we were not disappointed. We arrived to a warm, seamless process and went straight to our seating, we were at the very top in row P 57/58 and the view was exceptional. The cast were fantastic in the Show with a great ovation at the end. Would we visit again🤔 Definitely
We visited for the first time to watch the World Championship Snooker. The venue is great, it's fairly small which means that every seat has a good view and it offers an intimate atmosphere. It was very clean, the seats were comfortable and the price of drinks was fairly reasonable for a theatre. Let's hope the Snooker championship stays at this lovely venue.
This is the most friendly and most delightful snooker venue you can imagine. You are all so close to the action that it is electric. Just outside the venue you can watch the snooker sitting in a deck chair on a huge screen . There is a great pub also close by. Sheffield people make your visit special.
Wonderful theatre, all seats have a good view. Sound is high enough for everyone to hear. Only one problem, we saw a cross conversation with 4 people and 2 sitting in their seats. Turned out the ticket wasn't printed efficiently and an M looked like an H.
The Cathedral of Snooker. The Crucible is truly the legacy venue for the snooker championships. The seniors event is what I managed to get tickets for. Friendly staff and good facilities. Throughly enjoyed watching the afternoon session of the greats.
