Cracking little theatre small and cosy, but taller people will find the seating leg room lacking. Shame it's the only thing that spoils this great venue. Btw parking next door in the Ashley centre handy.

This is my local Theatre, and it is small and cosy, however for the long legged amongst us, I can honestly say unless I can get tickets in the side stalls I just can't go to the shows! I'm almost 6ft tall, but have long legs, so after my first experience many years ago of being in a great middle seat about four rows from the front, I had to ask my friend at the interval (after sitting in agony with back pain for the first half) if she minded if we moved (if the theatre would allow it) to unsold disabled access seating. The Theatre staff were very accommodating of my issue, and we gave up our seats to someone else further back, but I would go and see so many more shows if the main seating had more legroom! I appreciate in times of austerity its difficult to find the funding for change, but I really think this Theatre needs a cosmetic uplift for the future! Shows are on the whole good, local schools put on some great events here, and the small bar and food have always been good. For now though the newly revamped Epsom Odeon is a far more comfortable option for me for a night out!

Great venue. Plenty of parking in the multistorey next door. We've come here 5 or so years running, for the Xmas panto. Friendly and helpful staff. It's not a big venue, but it does mean you've got a good view wherever your seat is.

This is a view from the middle of the 3rd row from the back. As you can see it s fantastic. The theatre is very warm . The box office lady was very efficient and cheerful. The programs are good value for money. If you use the Ashley centre for parking remember that once the centre closes there are NO lifts. We parked on the roof and needed to leave people downstairs as one of our party are asthmatic and unable to climb that many stairs.

Lovely auditorium, only been to see a family member perform several times there. Very busy, staff on hand to locate visitors to their seats. Would like to see a more cosmopolitan audience, the theatre needs to gear their marketing to be more open to different types of cultural plays to attract a wider audience within and around the community.

Great venue with good seating providing good visibility of the stage. Drinks can be taken into the auditorium in plastic glasses. Best to pre-order drinks before the shows for the interval or pop over to the Albion for a quick drink when it is too crowded.

Excellent for a regional theatre. Sometimes attracts big name comedians for new material shows. Lots of good amateur musicals throughout the year and a family pantomime during the Christmas season. Also takes private hires and shows films in the summer. Parking adjacent, but traffic can be slow just before show time, so be sure to arrive at least 15 mins ahead. Small bar is nice enough.
