A good choice of plays and exceptional facilities. There is also a lovely cafe but the off putting smell of fat sometimes spoils the experience especially during the day time. Perhaps a good fan in the kitchen would help with this. If you want a good night out with friends and family you could do no better than a trip to the Octagon.

This was the first theatre I ever visited. It was on a school trip the year the Octagon opened. Since then I have visited occasionally until about 3 years ago when I decided to buy a season ticket.
I can honestly say I have never seen a bad play. Some have been outstanding. The staff in the box office are very helpful and all the staff are friendly. I like to visit various theatres but the Octagon is my favourite, very intimate, brilliant plays, scenery and the music is amazing. I can't praise this theatre highly enough.

Have seen comedians here once or twice but this was our first actual theatre production.
We were lucky enough to get tickets for "Of mice and men" which is now a sell out show.
It was just amazing . The set with an actual stream running through the floor and the way the sets were changed was brilliant .
The actors were so believable especially the 2 main characters of "George" and "Lenny", their performances were magical .
Our whole experience at the Octagon has given us the theatre bug and we cannot wait to go again.

Saw the play Tull in this great little theatre in the beautiful centre of Bolton (what fantastic buildings surround it). The cast worked unbelievably hard to tell the truly remarkable and tragic story of Walter Tull. I will keep my eye out for other productions there as I will certainly visit again. I urge you to give it a go.

The Bolon Octagon no matter what is on is a magical place.
The actors and actresses put 100% into all performances.
It is a very civillized place to be, the location is directly next door to a multistorey car park.
Drink proces are not all that bad at the interval.
I always enjoy going to the octagon Bolton

The performances they stage at the Octagon are excellent. Local writers and performers as well as more established writers and performers. I visit many theatres around the country and the octagon stands up against any of them. I have seen performances here that I would never forget. "Oh what a lovely war!" And "road" to name but two.
They always have an excellent resident director and actors all want to perform here. To say the octagon is not in Manchester or London its reputation is excellent and is really punching above its weight.

A small very comfortable theatre. Wherever you sit you can see and hear. Planning to book for Piaff. A wonderfuol community theatre. Pleasant bar and a cafe. We have seen several productions over the years and plan to book for Piaff in April
