Courtyard Theatre Hereford Review

Exterior and reception very nice, auditorium quite basic

Modern glass-fronted theatre with performance spaces of varying sizes. Large bar area that stays open well after the shows finish.

A brilliant little theatre, I always choose to take the children there to see films as it's much cheaper than the Odeon and much less overwhelming sound etc. The children's theatre productions have always been fantastic too.

My son and I visited yesterday to watch Sam and Mark, great show but also great venue. Always so clean and tidy. Stewards are lovely and friendly.

Fantastic venue with great staff .... Panto was great as always

A good variety of shows although the seats are a little uncomfortable.
A big let down is the car park. There is free parking for Blue Badge holders in designated spaces but there are only six spaces. If you don't get a space then the parking is very expensive.
Why not let badge holders park free in any space?
I have had a reply to say that badge holders can park for free so I have a picture of the information I was given at the time of buying a ticket.
It states, 'in any marked bay' with the blue disabled image next to it.

I disagree that the signage is clear.

Was there on breastfeeding support event.
Nice staff attitude and I'm sure that will go there again.

They hosted a conference of the Ancient Tree Forum and looked after delegates well. Thanks k you

This only relates to the very poor 'comedy' show we viewed with horror this evening. We were offended by the extremely low wit of the two male comedians whose material was poor to abysmal, especially the second guy whose reliance on just uninspiring sexual content was saddening and offensive because it was not the slightest bit funny. Also if you advertise a particular act who then is not appearing why not just call it the 'Take Your Chance On Laughing? Seriously fed up.

The have lots of different shows, lots of parking, restaurant is good food, price good to and lots of space.

Nice clean areas, atmosphere was great, staff very friendly

Lovely theatre, great cafe ... Brilliant productions.

A great venue for stage shows, not bad for a modern theatre.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the pantomime Peter Pan very well performed and great one liners for the adults. Great entertainment for all ages.

Fantastic venue, arts hub, lots going on for all ages, good cafe; disabled facilities.

A good provincial venue, with a lot on. Theatre and cinema with a licenced restaurant which offers good value snack style meals. If the car park full be aware the side streets are now (2019) under a residential permit arrangement. Parking at multi story about 400m away.

Very clean. Staff and helpers very friendly and helpful.

We did pop in here hoping to get lunch but the set up was unexplained and we couldn't place our order.

Great place for gig food was expensive and abit of a jumble with seating

Great modern theatre. Comfortable seating, with good view of the stage.
Excellent staff.

Always love visiting here whether it's to watch a performance or film or even pop in for a drink and snack. Staff are always lovely.

I have really enjoyed this year's Borderline film festival. Performance was a standout, on original 35 mm print.

Arts cinema with good titles including some classics that you don't often get the chance to see on the big screen.

Great night seeing George Michael except for a few drinks females !!

Fantastic variety of shows well priced too with cafe and parking via pay & display pricing @4.50 for 3hrs

A wide range of arts and cultural events including live theatre, music, dance, comedy club, films, exhibitions and educational classes for both young and old, take place in the various spaces available within the Courtyard. The restaurant bar serves good quality food and drinks, including tea and coffee, in the open atrium or more private mezzanine. People, both local and travelling through, use the Courtyard for meeting friends informally for coffee, reading the daily paper or catching up on their emails or social media via the free Wi-Fi. Children can play with the toys provided under the watchful eye of their parents.
Business and local groups are able to hire various rooms and spaces, including the main house, for private and public meetings symposiums and exhibitions. The staff are friendly and very helpful.
This is all set within a good looking modern building with an outside eating area and easy car parking (charges apply). Wheel chair access is very good with a lift to all floors A very good and valuable local centre for use by everyone.

Great selection of events. Good amount of drinks choice. Parking expensive.

Lovely theatre which also provides fantastic food at reasonable prices.

Great arts centre that encourages the community to get involved. It's not only about the theatre and films there's also the wonderful cafe bar with very tasty food. The annual pantomime is a must.

A lovely venue, with a main and studio theatre. The cafe serves drinks, snacks and lunch. There is a large pay and display car park.

Service is very good put need to drop 1.50 booking fee.

Pretty good little cinema, saw trainspotting 2 staff very helpful

Extremely disappointed, thought we were having a pre theatre dinner, turned out to be just a very expensive cafe, no waiter service, had to go to the bar to order food, even then I waited 20 mins to place an order. Food took ages to arrive More

Watched peter pan. Was amazing and the children aged 3 and 5 loved it. Definitely recommend.

Very busy but service was extremely slow. Nobody seemed to try to be in a hurry

Brilliant place to eat and drink. Nice for films and entertainment

Staff are friendly supportive and helpful food is fantastic. Great for family and friends. Fantastic theatre and cinima as well.

I would recommend to everyone. The people which help run the place are A1.
The shows are amazing and try and take my grandma to them as much as I can, the same with my little cousins

Another film from the fabulous Borderlines Film Festival

you got the best pantomime every year which is really good to see it

Loved every minute of the relaxed showing of peter pan

Good theatre, seating comfortable and well set out - you can see the stage

Lovely theatre. Varied productions including lots for kids.

Nice food, simple but tasty food. Reasonable prices. Quite noisy when busy. Very light, hough ceilings. Helpful staff.
Parking charge should be unessasry for community resource.

An exceptional cultural center of which the inhabitants can be proud.
Shows for all ages. A pleasant and friendly place. A large cafeteria with lots of choices. It's very good. The staff are very welcoming with strangers. The building is a success of architectural simplicity. A real place to live. CONGRATULATIONS to the architects and the Municipality. A concept to export.

This is the bees knees place to come . The buidling is great. The ambience and seating is super. Aladin was a super play - I love every second. I was and company present thoroughly enoyed such a trilling show - beats going tot he cinema hands down any day. Huge parking space.

Went to Panto with family. The show was great, even though our seats were terrible. You can pre-order interval drinks - they serve Butty Bach (Great Herefordshire beer).

Nice venue, good variety of shows, films, plays and concerts over the year.

Can be expensive for families but regular showings and food was quite good but again can be pricey.

Fabulous venue, saw the amazing Rich Hall, what a legend

Good parking, good food, excellent shows, things for holiday activities and films. Lots of interesting activities. Always worth avisit.

If you love the theatre, the courtyard is definitely the place to go.

We saw the new play The Goal. What a wonderful piece of new writing and the performances from the actors was truly remarkable. As is The Courtyard it caters for all

What a lovely theatre. We went to see our son in the Roald Dhal literacy presentation where his school did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and they were amazing (as were the other 2 schools). Good seats and well laid out. The restaurant looked great too and if we hadn't have already booked Pizza Hut we would have eaten there. Great place!
