We have been to many performances at this well established Lancashire theatre. Majority of plays are excellent and make a thoroughly good night out. Sadly the furnishings are showing their age, but that does not affect ones enjoyment of a play. The daytime cafe is a quiet place to meet a friend for coffee....snacks are pretty useless, but sofas are comfortable !

Great atmosphere, audience feels part of action due to all round seating and high level seating. Some great plays are seen and many top actors/actresses appear regularly. A gem of a local theatre.

We went to watch a fabulous performance of Macbeth. Pure excellence from start to finish, well done once again.

The staff at the Octagon go out of the way to help you and the performance we saw today was great as usual.
Bolton has a gem here and would / should look after it a bit more - gents toilets that smell and badly stained, threadbare carpets, paintwork that needs redoing.
Great shows and staff will only keep it going so long (and I hope they will) but a bit of TLC from the council here wouldnt go amiss before the cracks really start to show.

Saw "An Inspector Calls". Although familiar with the play this was a wonderfully entertaining presentation. The actors and the set were perfect.Bolton's theatre gets better and better thanks to Mr Thacker. The diction, the clothes and best were the actors faces ....I could def. see this again.
We didnt have time to eat this time but certainly will in the future as the newly furbished cafe ? restaurant now serves veggie AND vegan meals. congratulations we are so pleased.

He went to watch "An Inspector Calls". He said that the restaurant part was very nice and offered a wide selection of food and drink, the auditorium was well layed out and visibility was good, the seats were a little bit too close together. He would recommend this location as a good place to visit and watch a play or get a bite to eat

Myself and a few work mates had lunch here today.
Although the food was very tasty,hot and the service was excellent the price was too high.
We all had the potatoe hash.
It came in a bowl with a slice of bread and butter. The bowl was half full ( or empty ) and it was £6.
Had this not been a pay day treat for us girls then we would have been more vocal when asked what we thought.
I will think twice before returning for food.
The cappuccino however was a good price, tasty,hot and plenty of it.
