A visit to the Guildhall Theatre has become somewhat of a family tradition, we have been for around the past 6 Christmas's to watch the Babbling Vagabonds' shows which have been great whilst the children have been small. We have also recently been to see the Odd Socks Theatre Groups version of the Wizard of Oz.
The productions that we have seen are not 'big shows' they are nothing like the West End shows but they are small, personal, intimate, funny and unpolished and fit perfectly to the location.
The Guildhall is perhaps a little tired but having been visiting here for so long, we have come to love it's quirks, the staff are very friendly (of which there are many!) The bar is small and a little shabby but you can get a drink before the show and a packet of crisps, there's also a little coffee counter where you can buy refreshments.
In my experience a night at the Guildhall is all about family fun without the stereotypical formalities of a 'night at the theatre'.
We go time and time again!
