Really enjoying the programme, especially those that allow you to bring the children. The christmas play was excellent and we will definitely make a plan to attend this year.

My daughters and I saw Love Story last night and it was truly wonderful! I was so traumatised by the ending,(and I already knew the ending) that I had to sit and compose myself a little while! The music was great, beautifully portrayed.This was a fantastic final play in a fabulous season, we have thoroughly enjoyed each and every production. Thanks and credit to Directors, actors and everyone involved!

Bolton is lucky to have a theatre of this calibre. As a keen theatre goer who attends the theatre in London frequently I was very impressed by the quality of the production I saw; the creative team and the programme for this year and 2015. I believe there is an excellent Season Ticket which I would buy immediately if I lived in Bolton.

What a wonderful theatre the Octagon is. Not only the main theatre, but also the smaller venue inside. And with great productions all year round, a lovely bar area, friendly, helpful staff and easy access NCP car park next door it is a gem that the people of Bolton should be mighty proud of.

Great theatre. Intimate but not too small so seats had a great view and you felt part of the production. Friendly staff. Nice bar.
If you plan on eating there, as there aren't many eating venues close by, then I would recommend booking a table.

We had a lovely meal at the restaurant, which consisted of three courses £15.00.
Excellent value and very tasty. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They also cater for vegetarian and gluten free food.
I had mango and chicken starter, my husband had Mediterranean tomato and bean soup.
Main course I had ginger and chilli beef and rice and my husband had ham hock and mustard mash.
Desert I had pavlova and my husband had a Delicious chocolate desert.
I would definitely recommend booking a table.
The show Love Story was absolutely brilliant as well.

Being a season ticket holder time to time I enjoy the variety that is truly available at the Octagon as there is something for everyone and it's good to widen your horizons from time to time.
Great staff, good venue, great food.
Don't forget to pre order your drinks during the break or breaks., saves queuing

Saw Journey's End at the Bolton Octagon last night. Absolutely stunning, moving, heartbreaking but uplifting commentary on the nobility of the human spirit. David Thacker's direction is always inspired, but he excelled himself with this one. The staging is in the round and the set is an incredibly realistic dugout. Every character is perfectly cast. It's only on until 4th October. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
