We have had season tickets here for many years and are so appreciative of the opportunity to see professional live theatre without having to travel far. Our grand daughter also attends the Octagon Youth Theatre....excellent!!!

My wife has been seeing various shows at the Octagon since she was a child, but has been a wheelchair user since 2005.
This has not prevented her from visiting the theatre to see shows with me as her Carer!
Plenty of Room to move around + a Wheelchair accessible Toilet area!
100% Recomended :-)

We visited the Octagon to watch "Alfie" for a birthday treat and we had ring side seats, overall it was an extremely memorable evening watching a beautifully written screenplay from Bolton's own Bill Naughton. What could be better !!

Loved tinkabell who didn't talk but used noises, we understood everything, a masterpiece. A whole new view of Peter Pan, would have liked some flying but understand that the budget wouldn't stand it.

The Octagon theatre is fantastic if you like being up close and personal with the show, great atmosphere and good prices. We went watching Little Voice and thought the performance was brilliant, drinks are a little pricey at the interval but i suppose that is no different from any theatre.

This is an intimate small theatre holding, I would guess, up to 250 people? Whever you sit you can see everything because each row of seating is well above the row in front, so no heads get in the way!
The seats are spacious, with plenty of leg room. The range of entertainment is varied, something for everyone. Every time I go I am impressed by the way I get totally immersed in the performance. The audience always concentrate on the action and do not distract either the performers or other members of the audience. I have attended several different presentations including drama, comedy, classics, etc and have never been disappointed. I cannot recommend the Octagon too highly

Set in a building considered very modern when built it is showing it's age a bit now however the setting / arrangement makes for a very good theatrical experience as most seats are very close to the stage and a good view is pretty much guaranteed - staffed by enthusiastic staff who are very helpful.
Not great if you are disabled as whilst there is a lift there can still be steps to tackle and some are quite steep. Pricing was reasonable and the audience was a very broad mix.
A Bolton 'gem' with some minor room improvements, every town should have one

Every production I've seen at The Octagon has been truly outstanding - and as a professional actress and drama teacher I have a lot of theatre to hold in comparison. Productions by both David Thacker and Elisabeth Newman are of the highest possible standard. The community involvement of the theatre is also second to none. I live in a different town and I wish so much that there was a theatre like the Octagon there.
