I also love that they have paired with a local coffee roasters and offer lovely local coffee which tastes great. It's a great stop for bicyclists, as well as those who want a brunch break. They also have a farm shop in which they sell lovely personal goodies, along with other foods from local businesses!

A beautiful little theatre in the centre of Blackpool. It is…read morehoused in an old building and is very ornate inside. A lot of money has been raised by 'Friends of the Grand' to help it stay open and keep the facilities up to date. It shows a wide range of plays and groups, from Shakespeare to the every popular Rocky Horror Show. Usually offers a pantomime at Christmas and a summer season during the summer months. There is a large car park opposite, above BHS and discounts are offered. If you want a pre-theatre supper, there are lots of restaurants close by that are used to diners being in a hurry.

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Blackpool. It's beautifully preserved and run by…read morefriendly, dedicated staff who are obviously really committed to the place. The ticket prices are reasonable when you compare them to other towns. They have a good variety of shows which change frequently, and the auditorium is spacious and comfortable. It's right in the centre of town, absolutely perfect location. I went to see a show there and there was a little bar at the side near the stage door. You could wait for the stars to come out and then the whole cast retires there to sign autographs!

Little by name, little by exterior but certainly not little by nature. This Tardis of a theatre…read morelooks like barely anything from the outside, a narrow bit of building with a sign that makes one whimsical, thinking this is what theatres in urban New York must be like. Once you're inside it might look somewhat dated, it might not have the contemporary architecture or interior design of a lot of bigger, newer theatres these days, but there's a real gutsy David as opposed to Goliath feel to the place and it reminds me of the university theatre my drama group used to borrow for our productions. Yes, I was in a drama group when I was younger, big whoop, wanna fight about it? The Little Theatre just feels homey to me. The decor is rather traditional, the seats are usually red and in the auditorium they're those flippy ones that smack you in the buns when you stand up, and the staff are older than the usual types you get at theatres nowadays but you get the feeling they're working there for a reason - because they care. It's like all those old, beautiful cinemas that have sadly closed down and given way to multiplexes and bingo halls. I hope this never happens to The Little Theatre. People still go there because the stage is more than adequate for any production, be it Shakespeare or family friendly, Miller or Orton, heck, it's practically made for Beckett given the simplicity. And the bar's a really nice well polished area where you can chinwag and grab a nice strong G&T before the show. I think it certainly deserves to be here and alongside Southport's various arts centres and galleries, The Little Theatre stands proud as a symbol of the seaside town's excellent little culture hub. I love it.

The staff in both are just so lovely and often other threatens bugs who are more than happy to chat about the show with you.

I would advise pre-ordering interval drinks though. The only down side is that there isn't on site parking.

Easy and plentiful parking, clean inside, large bar area with seating. Serving bottled beers wines etc. Well organised and a friendly venue. You are seated in the cattle ring which has a stage area and concreted floor. Dress up or dress down, but remember this is a working auction market so the seats are a little hard if you don't have much padding!! The fact that this is an auction ring only adds to the fun of being there!! Reasonably priced tickets, proffessional lighting and sound and a fantastic atmosphere. We could not fault it. Enjoy.

After all there really is nothing like this theatre, don't be put off that it is used for a cattle market by day it adds to the experience and is just like a standard theatre at night, expert lighting and such a lovely relaxed ambience. Great mixed crowd of young and old, big thumbs up! Very professional, fun, great value for money. We watched a comedy show Clever Peter they were spot on and Horse & Lois too. Fantastic night out cannot recommend this place enough!

The Playhouse strikes a bold shadow in Williamson Square, I've seen many a good play here, from…read moreArthur Miller's The Price and more recently, Ghost Stories (a cross between The League of Gentlemen and Derren Brown) with numbers scrawled over the walls, sifting into your subconscious and a true psychological horror. On at the moment is a classic performance of The Woman in Black and it has to be said that the range of plays performed at The Playhouse is outstanding. A real old-style theatre you can really enter into the atmosphere and enjoy the imaginative experience. If you're a bit short on cash and can't afford tickets at full price or on the last minute, try going down on the day (preferably early!) as they sell any remaining tickets for a fiver. Cheaper than the cinema and a little more cultural!

To say the Playhouse is my second favourite theatre in Liverpool is not to denigrate the place, I…read morehave seen some fantastic productions here it's just that the city also boasts the Everyman which is by far my favourite theatre in the country. The theatre has been here for some time and while the fascia and theatre itself are fairly traditional - whitewashed, cornice studded walls and heavy red curtains are the order of the day - the reception and bar areas have both received a bit of a facelift. This combination of the traditional and the modern is indicative of the sort of work that the Playhouse plays host to. Recently I have seen a fantastic production of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales which was excellent and demonstrated the versatility that an apron theatre space still has, given a skilled production team and set of actors. The Woman in Black will be playing here very soon having had an immensely successful run in London and this is demonstrative of the sort of production and acting talent that the Playhouse can attract. Very, very highly recommended.

If you want a lesson in customer service this is it. If you…read morearen't doing what these guys are doing, you're doing it wrong. When someone isn't happy with the coffee they've just sent out (which tasted great by the way) And spends time fixing it until they feel it's right. And then gives you more coffee! FREE. That's perfection and that is customer service. This is a lovely quaint station house attached to Prescot train station. We only went downstairs which was lovely and cozy and has a toilet. Just as well after two large cups of coffee. The rustic vibe is perfect and the menu looked really good. I could even select vegan options. More of that on my next visit. The staff are lovely polite and engaging. You feel more like part of the family than a customer. Tune in on my next visit. I will venture upstairs and add more photos then. And also try something from the menu. Thanks to the staff for being very professional. And thanks for the perfect coffee.
