The Courtyard

They have a good range of shows and events here and a small art gallery.
You can book tickets online but there is a £2.50 charge for doing so.
There is usually parking spaces but you do have to pay around £1.50 to park for the length of a average show, and that includes evenings and weekends.
The main theatre is small but adequate and doesn’t feel too cramped. The view is great from any seat and they are layered well enough that a big person in front will not obstruct your view.
They do a range of activities for children during term time and holidays. The drama lessons are great as my daughter has been to them. They also do adult ones but I haven’t been so can’t comment.
The restauarant is expensive compared to eating in twon but comparable with other places that have a captive audience!
You can order drinks for the break and they have them ready for you to save time. They will not do hot or speciality drinks during intervals as the bar obviously gets very busy.
They sell tiny tubs of ice cream that are quite expensive but very nice and locally produced.
The toilets are clean and plenty enough.
There is a small play area for children under the stairs which is good for occupying them while you have a pre-​show drink.
The interior of the building is very fresh and open but the outside is starting to show signs of wear and tear.
For parents, there is a great play area at the end of the carpark so do cheack that out if you want to let them let off steam. It doesn’t belong to the theatre but has a very good range of well maintained equipment for all ages.

Chairs in here are extremly comfortable! Have great shows here and seats positioned for a great viewing! Well layed out place. Great day out for the whole family

Very modern, spacious building with an excellent choice of entertainment. The seating is both comfortable and well laid out. The sound system is brilliant Good parking facilities. Definitely worth a visit.

When the right shows on, its a great day out for all the family and the building is beautiful. The on-​site café is perfect for a cheap lunch and town centre is a short distance away for a fast food dinner to bribe the children. Check out the website/​listings for new shows.
