Blackfriars Arts Centre Reviews

What a superb concert venue! Comfy seats, plenty of room, great sound, and helpful friendly staff / volunteers!!

Well maintained center. Helpful staff. Family friendly. Lots of shows for all ages.

Excellent performance tonight and a lovely theatre.

Loved this year's panto. The Cast and costumes were fantastic . Highly recommend a visit.

Warm friendly place. Great bar, good prices. They have lovely art work on display. Always worth seeing. They book a lot of famous people and the amateur dramatics are on par with the professionals.
It's a good place to just drop in for a cuppa and a home made cake.

I have been a few times to Blackfriars theatre to see various shows , went to the Elvis one recently , lovely little theatre that seats about 200 max probably less with really friendly staff & a nice little review bar upstairs . Highly recommended , especially for pantomines which are really worth going to see , with it being small it has a really personal feel to it that you don't get with the bigger theatres

1st time visiting, what an amazing theatre to have local! Panto was enjoyed by all. Just perfect!

Beautiful building. Friendly staff and great acoustics. Would certainly recommend a visit

Took are granddaughter, s to panto, we enjoyed it very much, laughter all way through,

Brilliant place, good time,very helpful and friendly staff.

Theatre set in part of an old Abbey. Some of the features of the Abbey are still visible

Christmas panto is a must. Gluten free ice creams available at interval and very friendly volunteers on hand to help

Whilst I appreciate that rely on donations, there really needs to be some form of ventilation in the theatre room, especially during a hot time such as this. Even an open door or window would be appreciated.

Love going here, view is good to the stage and staff are great

Went to see the panto Aladdin. Everyone really enjoyed it! Great venue, close atmosphere and great staff!

We went to see Santa today. He was great and so was the team around him. We arrived early and a man we believe to be called Tony ( we may be wrong on his name so sorry if we are) showed the children around the displays in the foyer and made up questions to keep them happy amd busy. We didn't feel rushed and we feel it was great value for money. A very happy and enjoyable experience.

We came to see "An Evening with Ann Widdecombe" on Saturday evening and what a pleasure it was. Thank you very much. Please have more such evenings, it was very well supported.

Great theater I totally recommend going to see something there

Brilliant evening. Brendan Riley fantastic as usual.

Lovely old fashioned theatre but puts on modern relevant plays and musical events, children well catered for with fairy stories participation events and panto at Christmas.

Historic Building which houses a range of performances from pantos to plays. The staff at Blackfrairs are always very friendly and caring.

I recently attend a panto here with a elderly family member and the staff could not have been any more caring than they where. The panto performance was great and throughly enjoyable.

Refreshments are available from the ticket office or the upstairs bar. Plenty of parking is available nearby and the building has been adapted to be wheelchair friendly.

The pantomime this year was Cinderella my wife and I took two of our granddaughters aged eleven and four and we all enjoyed it and had a really nice time

Saw Aladdin which we thought was ok. Seating was tight.

I love seeing shows here, seen panto with my daughter twice and another show great staff and great facility

Great atmosphere, highly recommend little theatre. Buzzing.

Great little theatre with great shows using local talent

Excellent. A piece of history is this place. Comfy seats and excellent show, with fab half time ice creams.

Took my daughter and 9 friends to the panto for her birthday the staff were incredibly kind and helpful the cast we're brilliant and everyone there made sure our party had a wonderful time thank you blackfriars

Excellent show this evening The Sound of Music well done everyone

Was able to watch a great show here, seats were relatively comfortable and the whole audience got into the spirit of the show, however in the summer heat, it was very warm at the top of the theatre due to the heat rising from the stage lights, however if the actors can survive it, so can we

Cozy little theatre with newly fitted seating. Also have a small stand for refreshments

An intimate place with good shows
Christmas panto makes me laugh every time

Amazing amazing amazing. We love visiting this venue.

I had a very good experience at Blackfriars last Saturday.

Up close and personal with James Morrison. An excellent gig!

Lovely old building, full of character. Staff so very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Fantastic performance. Well done and thank you to all involved. Great venue, snug bar, friendly welcoming atmosphere. Look forward to visiting again soon.

A fantastic venue in Boston. Always has great shows by local groups and touring professionals. Well worth a visit. Theatre is wheel chair accessable but would advice notifying the centre prior to your visit as the lift into the theatre needs to be operated by a member of staff.

Went to see some lovely play last night very funny.enjoyed our self's.

I booked 3 tickets to see Cinderella pantomime this Xmas, and I made a mistake and booked it for 11am instead of 2pm, when I arrived and was seated at the 2pm performance, the mistake had been found, but instead of been told to leave the staff were very helpful and found us 3 seats elsewhere, the performance was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our day, a massive thank you to the staff at blackfriars

It is an amazing place to go with your family and it is amazing for me to paform there

First time going last night absolutely brilliant and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Absolutely brilliant. For a locally run theatre this place is wonderful.

Very nice friendly theatre that is a little difficult to ability challenged people.
