I've been to the Everyman a few times now, mostly to watch the productions for children, although…read morewe did also go to see Dick Wittington the panto last Christmas and it was excellent - a really good day out. The building is stunning and it's very comfortable inside. It's conveniently located in the town centre, with an entrance from the street and another from inside Regent's Arcade, so it's not difficult to find at all. I can't wait for my next visit!

Another great venue in CHeltenham. Again great plays and productions very enjoyable evening out…read more Parking is good which is great for centre of town.

Charming venue in the Cotswalls; definitely worth a visit if in the area. The hall is ornate and…read moresound is good. Seats are not the most comfortable but more than adequate and not unusual for a countryside theater. The Basel Symphony Orchestra is performing tonight with Mozart, Ravel and Stravinsky on the program. Very enjoyable event.

The Town Hall is a very mixed bag. Buying tickets in person or over the telephone is a pleasure…read more However the same experience online - at least for the Literature or Science festivals - is a nightmare. The venue itself is imposing and spacious, though very crowded for big events like popular LitFest talks. The acoustics in the main hall are pretty bad, but staff do their best to overcome that. Overall, if there's something you want to see, go and see it! Your experience shouldn't be either ruined or greatly enhanced by the venue.

The Playhouse appears to be a well kept secret! Once we discovered it (just round the corner from…read moreThe Everyman) we have chosen to make most of our theatre trips to there. In the past ten years they have a wider range of drama thanThe Everyman, and very often of a higher standard of acting and directing, with excellent sets and lighting. These include dramas like Man of the Moment, Under Milk Wood and On Golden Pond, plus occasional operas in English like Lakme, and Gilbert & Sullivan and Christmas Panto. What is so amazing is that these are all amateur productions, put on my different member companies from around the area. What a lot of talent never made it to the professional stage! The interior was recently upgraded with steeply tiered comfortable seating and improved bar facilities. The average ticket price is about £12, with parking less than 100 yards away. It has quite a history, including being the municipal swimming baths!

All in all a great theatre though prehaps missing some of the atmosphere of a traditional threatre

I've seen many a show at the Bacon Theatre, as they are very child friendly and welcoming, I love…read morethe seating in long comfortable benches, when you have wriggling kids with you this type of seating is better than the flip up ones. The drinks, sweets and Ice Creams are reasonably priced ( cheaper than other theatres) which all helps on a family night/day out. You can park really close to the Theatre as it is situated in Dean Close School, no parking meters, perfect. They have a varied array of interesting performances and I have never been let down, I love the Open air festival at the Tuckwell over the road, tucked in among the trees with a candle lit walk way down to reveal a charming amphitheatre. Its great to get some friends together with a bottle of wine,snacks etc and watch a film or play with the light fading and the fresh summer air all around you, truly magical. It did rain one year though but they had made provisions to transfer to the Bacon Theatre where we could still enjoy our picnic, no problem. Hope I haven't gone on to much, but having children and still managing to get out and see shows altogether with minimal hassle and expense is a god send to me. Thank you Bacon Team

Let's be honest, eating dinner at a garden centre usually sounds like the sort of things your parents or grandparents (depending on your age!) would do, however, this little slice of African themed heaven is a far cry from what you'd normal expect of such a place! I've not made it to Africa, though have traveled widely in Asia, and the outside felt totally authentic, being similar to bars and restaurants I've eaten in abroad. Even outside, you are sheltered from the rain, and inside, where the buffet is served, it's warm and cosy, with live music of an evening, and the most amazing spread of food. I've been a number of times since that first dinner, having returned in the day with my dog, as it's dog friendly if you're happy to sit outside - they even bring a bowl of water for our four legged friends! I've had lunch there, and the most fabulous afternoon cream tea, and cake, whilst the choice is limited, what they offer is very tasty (and I'm a fan of cake!) I loved it that much the first night, that I've refused to go there for a meal again, as I'm going for my 40th, which happens to fall on a Thursday, and looking forward to sharing the experience with close friends. The service is always friendly. It's not always super fast, as it runs on Kenyan time, so this isn't the place to go in a rush. Indeed, why would you? It's such a delightful experience that it deserves to be cherished. Oh, and the shop is pretty fab too! So yes, dog friendly, fab food, great shop and friendly service!
