First time visiting since the revamp and what a lovely place it is now. The staff are friendly and there’s a nice cafe which is extremely reasonable priced. Will be back!

A fantastic venue with a lovely pre-theatre meal. The front of house team were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. Just one small suggestion — it would be even more comfortable in the theatre with the heating on

Unrealistic seating nobody was comfortable

My partner and I held our wedding reception in the Crescent Room and Bar of the Octagon on Saturday 2nd August 2025. Throughout the whole planning experience, Nat and the team were unbelievably helpful, kind and always ready to answer any question. They were happy to let us have a viewing of the space and didn’t mind when we added in a few extra people just a couple of weeks before the date!
On the actual night, the team were just as helpful as they’d been in the run up towards it. The music system was fantastic and easy to use with an aux cable (that we bought from Amazon - easy enough for us!) into my husbands phone. The bartender on the night provided a fantastic and quick service the whole night. The food we chose was a selection of sandwiches, varying snack foods, pizzas and chips. All of the food was piping hot and very yummy - I’m pretty sure there was none left over! We’d chosen to have some welcome drinks too, which were helpfully put on the tables for our arrival after the wedding ceremony.
Throughout the entire process, the team at the Octagon were just so amazing. I had the best night of my life so far and such a memorable wedding. I highly recommend their rooms and their services. It was well worth what we paid, and I’m so grateful for all the work they put into it. Thank you!

A great evening was had at the theatre where we watched a performance of Pride and Prejudice. Our seats gave a fantastic view of the show as the seats form a circle around the stage. The onsite bar provided a good choice of coffee and drinks. Ice cream during the interval too!

Pride and Prejudice - excellent performance and creative use of theatre in the round. Always good stuff on at the Octagon. Well worth a visit 👍🏼

Went to see Pride & Prejudice at Bolton Octagon. Great venue with parking close by. Plus bus & train station is 5 minutes away. Food & drink prices are reasonable and staff are always very friendly & helpful.

Just amazing. It’s a small theatre with fantastic service, lots of people to help you find your way about. A very easy interval drink ordering system. I had a great time.

Went there to see pride and prejudice. Friendly staff who are helpful, comfortable seats for a reasonable price,because of the architecture you feel involved in the play as the stage is at the center and the sound effects are great. We ordered interval drinks which we could collect easily and there was also an icecream seller at the stage during the interval. It’s very close to station (7 minute walk) so you can travel there even without a car. Also nice seating area and bar outside, excellent experience overall.

39 steps, too much corn but great venue.

Just back from watching the 39 steps. Absolutely hilarious 😂. Pre theatre dining also very good. Nice pleasant staff, although the car park attendant was a bit rude. Can't wait to come to this theatre again & again. Great view from every seat & comfortable.

Secure. Clean. A bit tight for turning inside.
