Hafren Mid Wales Entertainment Reviews

Did stand up to cancer showcase there and it was great but do need to make dressing rooms a bit bigger because they were a squeeze. But overall it was good!

Nice theatre in Newtown. Very nice and big stage to perform on and lovely seating for audience. Reasonable pricing for shows and extras.

Nice cosy theatre with great staff and good views from any of the seats. Seats are pretty hard so you can get uncomfortable after a while. Went to watch Tom Gates on a Saturday night, shame the theatre was half empty as it was a great show.

We went to see Ed Byrne. A great night. Good selection of drinks at the bar, clean toilets. A very good theatre.

I haven't been here for a while, so was pleasantly surprised to find the main entrance completely refurbished. It looks really nice, spacious and modern. Downside was the 30min queue to get to the bar while others were skipping it, and the limited knowledge of certain bar staff for simple cocktails, like a white Russian!

Saw a gig here and the sound was very very good. Acoustics worked well.

Fantastic Abba Tribute by Arrival, 2nd time I've seen them, brilliant. Thank you

Part of the local college, The Hafren Theatre has the feel of a lecture theatre and the local amateur dramatic society combined. Avoid front rows, too low for the stage. Seating is poor quality and uncomfortable for longer than an hour. Bar is always heaving and understaffed. Having said all that, it is our only local venue and occasionally attracts a good comedian or other act, for which wr should be grateful. Pity the tickets are mostly sold before they promote the shows...

Watched the performance of Annie , really good show , Well Done 'rising stars' drama group

Good venue, reasonable pricing at the bar, car park easy to get in & out after a busy event. All seating has a good view of the stage.

You really can't fault the acoustica evenings at theatre hafren - a great night out on a budget x

Great local venue but lack of big names appearing there so don't go often.

Lovely theatre, great atmosphere and nice staff.
Good views of stage.
Bar staff are excellent and clear queues quickly in interval.
Only negative is that it gets really hot in the summer!

Saw a comedian there . Sarah milican . Nice bar good amenities all round

Full audience very hot on side balcony. No air con. Avoid in summer !

Visited the Hafren to attend a sports award evening. There is plenty of parking including plenty of disabled parking. The staff were lovely and welcoming and very helpful. The theatre is a lovely size which helps to give an intimate feel ideal for these types of events. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of space you didn't feel cramped at all. Toilets we're clean and tidy and plenty of them. All in all a lovely little theatre.

Always have an amazing time when there great line ups always

While the performances and events calendar and experiences are brilliant at this venue, I'm saddened to say that the customer service is quite shocking to be honest.
Due to unforseen circumstances I recently had to miss a show, so I emailed The Hafren and asked if I could either transfer my ticket or have a voucher for the value, so not even asking for a refund. I wouldn't have even minded if I'd have had a "no" and a policy explanation, however, I didn't even get a reply!!
If the customer services were up to the standard of the ushering staff/volunteers and the quality of entertainment then I would be scoring this a 5 star.
I highly reccomend that you go and see a show there, but if ever you have a problem with anything, don't bother trying to sort it out, because you'll get nowhere!

Theatre Hafren is a Mid Wales gem! Always great program of events, plays and music. Check it out!

Always a great venue. Circus Of Horrors was fantastic!

Excellent venue but unfortunately far too hot, needs air conditioning.

Seats uncomfortable for disabled people. Has cafe. Lots of different shows and generally a good venue

Excellent service from the staff play was great well worth it will definitely go again

Great little theatre. Seating is good. Staff are great.

Fantastic Whitney tribute act. Well done The Hafren.x

Great theatre, comfortable seating, excellent facilities

I've been here on quite a few occasions now. Me and the wife love it. They have some of the biggest names here. Lee Evans performed here was the funniest show I have ever seen. It has great parking. And the staff are very friendly and professional. The prices are really great too. Overall this place is a definite winner.

Great theatre. Excellent staff. Always enjoy our visits

Great theatre. Amazing shows and good prices. Order your tickets online and reserve your drinks for the interval. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Saw Rich Hall. Brilliant. Will now always visualise Trump as a rancid Mac n cheese!
