A vibrant theatre that has a somewhat unimpressive exterior. What is inside is definitely the opposite with a spacious foyer both at ground and first
floor levels. There is a small bar and a bistro on the ground floor. I only visited the main theatre which is large with 900 seats. The seats are tiered and the rows curve continental style (no centre aisle) giving excellent views of the very large stage. I saw The Wizard of Oz (Christmas production 2018) which was excellent. There were lots families and groups of young people in the audience. They were obviously enjoying it. Would recommend a visit to this theatre.
