Norden Farm Centre for the Arts Reviews

Great event - well organised for safety and food surprisingly good.

Lovely bar and reasonable pub-ish grub, worth a visit if you're looking for a nice place to have a quiet coffee or a spot of lunch.

Brilliant location for theatre and films. Good food selection. Disabled parking outside main entry, and toilet near bar. Accessible seating bookable.

Great place to go. New seats in cinema. Tasty food. Free parking. Bar facilities. Friendly staff.

Only lived in Maidenhead for a year but it is so nice to have an arts centre so local to us. We managed to come a few times before the first lockdown to go into the art gallery and to the cinema. It's a lovely environment and we can't wait to go back once everything is more normal.

Nice ambience with all facilities. Almost your private theatre. Perform, act, do.

Ken Cheng, Andrew Doyle, Helen Lederer, are some of the many comedians seen. Brilliant standup venue, especially when they are testing new material.

One of the shining stars of Maidenhead.
A large selection of activities and shows; good food & drink; great takeaway service; and always really friendly and helpful staff.

Dissapointing, we heard arguing from the kitchen and the staff were unhelpfull. Our food took a very long time and was not the greatest.

The menu is small and dissapointing. I wish I could give less that one star but I physically can not do that.

Fabulous place, all the more amazing for its location.

Massive conflict of interest. Dont take a show there especially if hiring in kit. David Riley one of their techs has his own company supplying kit to venues. They dont act in your own interests by sourcing the best deal only his own.

Also during get ins and get outs they are busy sorting out his own kit with the manager rather than helping the incoming show.

His website even states he is full time with his own company which obviously isn't true also as he obviously works at Norden Farm. This also means that should anything go wrong with any kit you have hired there is no second person or back up so solve the issue as he will be already working.

just google events and look at the about page to see.

If going to this place source your own suppliers and dont use this one.

Other than that though It is a nice venue.

Eclectic and accessible mix of culture, art and entertainment with friendly, helpful staff and a great pint of Rebellion IPA.

I've seen plays, stand up, movies and had nice coffee! Definitely recommended!

We're so lucky to have Norden Farm in Maidenhead. Always something interesting to see or do, and children are well catered for, too. The staff are very helpful, and the food is good value.

Nice environment, coffee and staff. Have only been in the cafe but one kid came out of an art workshop and shouted "That was totally boring." I'll hasten to add that lots of others came out saying they had a great time.

We had to cancel last minute, the lady taking the booking was lovely and very kindly found someone else to take our tickets. We got a full refund and have re-booked to visit in March....and May! Excellent customer service, thank you.

Brilliant theatre on the outskirts of town. Came here to see mark watson and was really good. Parking round back. The theatre itself is really really good, clean spacious and very covid friendly. The seating is good with the bar well stocked. The staff were exceptional, firm about the covid rules but also friendly, efficient and professional.

Really nice casual atmosphere. Great for a coffee or a meal even if you aren't attending an event

We visit regularly to watch films. Norden has a good mix of mainstream and arts films, and is blissfully free of the usual noisy popcorn-munching crowd. They also do a meal + film deal on selected evenings, which is very good.

Somewhere that I want to visit when lockdown restrictions have eased.

Great venue and lovely staff. Can't wait to go back again

We went to see phil Collins tribute band and we had a few men beside us that were drunk and they were a nuance, in the end we walked out and told the manager because the lady that we told first didn't even try to sort out the situation, we are now putting it down to experience and we won't return.

Saw the "comedian" James Mullinger last Saturday. Difficult to know whether he was funny or not (I suspect not) as the guy was obviously so drunk that any material he may of had was reduced to pretty much gibberish.
It was very clear that his visit back home to Maidenhead (he now resides in Canada where he once filled a 5,000 seater stadium as he KEPT reminding us) was just an excuse for him & his sycophantic friends to get slaughtered for a few days at Norden Farms expense. We left after about 15 minutes & we weren't the first or the last apparently.
On the upside, this is the first negative experience we've had at Norden Farm & as usual the staff were excellent & we thoroughly enjoyed our pre-show dinner & we will be returning.

Lovely arts centre, theatre, cinema, gallery, cafe and meeting space. Set in a group of historic farm buildings on the outskirts of Maidenhead, this regionally renowned centre has something for everyone. Great theatre & cinema programme throughout the year. Friendly staff and good food, with a very relaxed vibe. No dogs allowed inside, but you can muck about in a quiet corner of the car park without bothering any of the customers...

Excellent arts centre with many different interesting exhibitions, shows and films, catering to a wide range of ages and interests.

Great fish and chips!
Lightly battered (not soggy).

Reasonable prices for drinks and food.

Great performances
