This is a wonderful theatre which puts on very high standard performances. The layout of the theatre means that for most performances you get a great view wherever you are sat. We usually make a few trips a year and have found the quality of the acting and the innvoation very impressive. They also offer standby tickets to people between the ages of 16-25 at a cheaper rate to encourage younger people to attend the theatre. If you are eliogible for these tickets they are great value - much cheaper than going to the cinema and makes a good night out.

I am coming towards the end of my second season as a season ticket holder at the Octagon Theatre and I can honestly say that I have yet to see anything less than a good production and usually the quality is very good to superb. You are never far from the action wherever you sit although I personally would not choose to sit in the gallery. I have been there before now and felt that I was looking down on the tops of the actors' heads from a position on the edge of my seat; anywhere in the stalls is infinitely better. The restaurant is popular place to eat, drink and meet friends prior to the show as is the bar for drinks before, during the interval and after the show. I can hardly wait until the day comes round for my next visit to see what I know will be a top quality production at the Octagon.

My first visit to the Octagon and was very impressed, the seating is excellent and the quality of the production was exceptional. The theatre is easy accessed in the town centre, booking is straightforward and we enjoyed a pre show drink in the bar. There is a varied programme of productions on the calendar and would recommend a visit if something takes your fancy, a nice change from the TV!

The Octagon Theatre is one of my favourite places in Bolton. They have a diverse range of productions, the quality of which is always outstanding. The venue itself is due an imminent upgrade, but even so, it is comfortable, easily accessible and a great place to grab a coffee too. The staff are wonderfully attentive too, making the Octagon a must see in Bolton. Come drop by, you won't be disappointed.

This theatre is small and minimalist, both shows I've seen here have made you concentrate on the actors rather than impressing you with fancy set design. Cafe alongside is nice enough too.

The show was littered with unnecessary language which, in my view, reflects on the theatre. I also didn't find the sound quality good

Absolutely brilliant. The late start and the absent actor did not detract from a stunning performance and deserving of 5 stars. The theatre is about to be refurbished so it will be even better!

It is tradition in our family to visit on Christmas eve and watch the Christmas production. However lately I have visited quite frequently and we always have a good time. Out for dinner first then show up at the theatre for a few drinks before hand and then enjoy the production. The performances are consistently good in my opinion and the lighting and sounding are always on point. The chairs are comfortable, its a professional and clean environment, what more could you ask for.

Good place for a cuppa 'n' cake catch up with friends, but doesn't open late afternoon, unfortunately.
