Been to the Garrick several times. Nice theatre. Of course a lot of it depends on the act/event you are seeing to create the atmosphere. Always found the sound and the view are good. Intend to go back for some more events.
Downsides... some rows in the stalls have an metal pillar at the end (going to the boxes above) so best avoid the aisle seat. There is AFAIK after many visits only one male toilet and that is on the very top floor. Always long queues. The bar and café could to with an bit of a jolt. Last time no coffee as the machine had broken.(in any case they were short of ceramic cups so it would have been paper ones.) Then the cold drinks were served in dirty glasses.... apparently the washer "always does that" Like many we use other venues for pre theatre food and drink. A pity as with a bit of effort it could be a really good venue.

My wife and I run a business caring for the elderly. We bought 9 clients to the panto at Christmas. They all had a great time. The theatre is lovely and the staff were very helpful.

I took my mother here, really not having much interest or expectation.
How wrong can you be, this place was very interesting, not sad but grand and respectful.
Full of interesting things, lovely people from the second you walk through the door.
Nice little cafe also.
My advice, don't keep driving past on the a38 as I did for years.... It's well worth a visit.

Visited with a group of like minded friends in September and was very impressed with the whole area, we spent quite a bit of time in the area devoted to 'Op Banner' and were humbled by the experiance. I was unaware that it is not only military memorials but that of other charities etc but it brings everone together in remembrance. One tip if looking for a particular tree in remembrance of a military individual ask at the main desk on the way in to get the rough area.

In October 2013, Sheila H said about National Memorial Arboretum
We were not expecting somewhere as interesting and inspiring, yet peaceful and emotionally charged. The site is beautifully planned, and there are so many memorials and tributes, that we will most probably return for another visit. The feeling of National pride is overwhelming, as is our gratitude to the service personnel that have given their lives, and to all the service personnel past and present that continue to serve to make our country a safer place to live. God bless them all.

I have been to the National Memorial Arboretum three times now and find something new each time. It is beautifully laid out and very well organised. and extremely moving - especially the national memorial itself at the centre of things. On two occasions I have been there for the 11 o'clock 'service' in the chapel which is well worth experiencing - the chapel itself has some wonderful carvings and superb needlework, Staff are very pleasant and helpful and refreshment facilities are very good.
