Every production we have seen has been of the highest standard, performed with skill and enthusiasm in an intimate and often intense atmosphere. Sets range from interestingly minimalist to ingeniously complex, and the "in the round" auditorium draws the viewer right into the performance. The cast always give 110% effort into each performance and will often be rewarded with a well deserved standing ovation.
There is an excellent café on the ground floor, and bar on the first floor. All facilities are good and include disabled access and lift. Staff and volunteers are friendly, welcoming and always ready to help.
In addition to the theatre, there are also a number of community focused activities, courses and events and workshops available.

Just got back from watching educating rita. Thoroughly enjoyed it although bit long winded. The cast (all 2 of them) were brilliant. How hard must it be for just 2 people to do a full production. Excellent and congratulations

We love this theatre and go every New Year with our grandchildren. The BFG was truly magical last year..totally absorbing and easy to follow .
With 3 grandchildren in tow aged 3 to 8 we came on our annual trip to see Cinderella. We noticed a sound very early on..quite loud and at short intervals coming from behind us. The children were distracted and kept looking round . Eventually when the sound peaked I realised it was coming from a teenage girl in a wheelchair.
Whilst I believe we should be enabling all members of society to benefit from such performances I understand there was a separate performance that people with disabilities could attend.
My grandchildren were so distracted by her sounds that they didn't benefit from the amazing musical intricacies that brought the performance to life as they were at all times looking for where the grunting sound was coming from. As grandparents we found this very upsetting.
The cast as usual were excellent their musicality amazing.How sad that the performance was spoiled for ours and other young children. I would suggest that persons accompanying a noisy person could be asked to sit outside the auditorium until the person becomes quiet or better still attend the performance available for anyone with special needs that could affect the enjoyment of others.

Great local theatre

Octagon is a visitor friendly theatre. Access is available to all levels. The cafe, restaurant and bar is consumer friendly. We had pre-theatre dinner which was seasonal with excellent choice, though prices are a bit steep but this is to be expected in a dedicated theatre restaurant. Overall an excellent family outing on Boxing day, table needs to verify booked for pre-shrunk dinners. Check seasonal menu on line,

Intimate with all the great atmosphere of a theatre. Watched to kill a mockingbird the size and Centre stage of the venue allows to production to offer a more interactive performance. Bar prices and options are reasonable too

Watched to kill a mockingbird with my mum and the staff were great, the theatre is intimate and great views and I'm 6ft4 with long legs so I always worry about being cramped but huge spacious seats, very comfortable

Fabulous theatre - just watched To Kill A Mockingbird and it was incredibly professional and immersive. Fabulous performance with well-respected and well-known cast, plus awesome child actors. Large bar and reasonably priced cafe/restaurant. Only a small queue for the toilets during the interval!

Went to the Octagon Theatre with my family to watch Cinderella on Thursday 29th Dec. Absolutely fantastic, the acting was brilliant and all the actors really engaged with the audience at all times. My son enjoyed himself.
If you want "He's behind you" then this is not for you as the performance is focussed on a proper script, story, superb acting and drama. I cant wait for next years adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
Thank you Octagon for a enjoyable evening.
