I visit this theatre regularly and feel it gives great value for money. The productions are varied with usually excellent casts and very imaginative stage and sets. The pre theatre food is also recommended.

I don't go to the theatre regularly perhaps twice a year, but each time I go to the Octagon I am not disappointed. They always have a brilliant cast for each play I've seen, they perform a variety of plays, and the ones I have seen have always been excellent. The Octagon is probably 25-30 years old now and is due to be refurbished it will only make the experience of visiting even better. A superb evening out

Check out the food in the top bar - delicious. I attended a private function here lived in Bolton for years and never knew it existed!

This review is a little late.....we watched Cinderella at the Octagon...I was taking my daughter who is severely disabled so was a little apprehensive as her behaviour can be a little 'quirky'...she uses a wheelchair as there were no wheelchair seat available I had to transfer her, staff sat us in a seat which meant that was a relatively easy thing to do..access was easy no problems at all it was a brilliant performance, and when she became a little noisy half way through the performance staff asked if we needed any help, I think the were released when I said she was making happy noises! We waited till everyone left before taking her out...and one of the performers (a rat) came and thanked us for bringing her, and asked if we had enjoyed the show....was really touched!
I've taken her to a few performances and have to say we are always made to feel welcome, and staff are always happy to help and accommodate us....

Wow went yesterday to see a new British musical called I Capture the Castle, original by Dodie Smith. What a fantastic show. The singing was phenominal, made all the more better by the excellent sound quality at this little gem of a theatre. I've been a few times to this theatre and always enjoyed the different productions. All the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The cafe on site is excellent too, with great choice of homemade food.

I have enjoyed every performance this season (to date!) at the Octagon Theatre. Each performance has offered something very different and 'I Capture the Castle' was spectacular. Very clever musical adaptation of Dodie Smith's classical novel - don't miss it!

It has been a while since visiting the theatre. The theatre space is intimate and you feel very close to the actors. The seats are comfortable with good leg room. There is good access to the higher floors with stairs and a lift. Th interior and common pars all feel a bit tired and is in need of being refreshed. New plans are afoot for widespread refurbishment. The bar area is quite large and reasonably staffed. While the cafe sells food during the day there is no significant food offering during or around the performance.

A lovely intimate theatre which generally produces enjoyable, accessible plays without stooping to patronising the audience. The current production, Talking Heads' is first rate and well worth the admission fee.
