Watched '39 Steps' comedy play... Which was excellent, very funny and superbly acted. Bolton Octagon is a great place, very comfortable seats, and excellent toilets... Noticeably good actually. Good bar, friendly staff. A jewel in Bolton's long faded crown.

After not visiting the Octagon for a good few years l was happy to be back...the theatre was modern, spacious and the staff were lovely.. a warm welcome when we arrived, when buying drinks and when being shown our seats.
The theatre performance area was great, we were seated to the side, but the performance space was well used, ensuring everyone had a good view.
Free water available in the bar area on a side table, and cups of tea available to buy too... We loved being able to drink our tea whilst watching the second half of 39 steps, what a fabulous show that was too.
Only slight niggle is that the seating is a little tight, l am 5f 2' and struggled to get comfortable at times... However, it wouldn't stop me going again 🙂

A lovely theatre. Looking around it looked like every seat had a good view due to the steep tier seats.
We went to see Of Mice and Men.
4 stars given as the production made some changes that I felt strayed too far from key elements of the original story.
Great actors though! A particularly excellent Carlson.
Clever set design too.

Great place for an intermate concert. Seats are very comfy, not much leg room for tall people but still enjoyed it

It was the first time in a very long time I had visited the Octagon, I was not disappointed at all. We had booked to watch Northern Soul, and it was absolutely fantastic!
As we entered the theater the staff were extremely helpful, the bar staff were very accommodating and the when inside the little theatre the staff helped us to our seats and also interacted with the people inside, I was shown how to access the play information of the QR code. I will definitely be going again.

Love the newly refurbished Octagon Theatre in Bolton town centre. They've done a great job of the 2 bars, one upstairs and one ground level. Lovely friendly staff. The Theatre itself looks thd same with seating in the round to fit around the set. Next time I'll have a meal there before the performance.

Super little theatre with good catering. Some of the rows are accessible from only one side which can be a nuisance.

Friendly, helpful staff. Every production has been of the highest standards. Also, it's definitely worth having a pre-theatre meal in the restaurant. You won't be disappointed.
