The kids loved it as well. It can be a little bit expensive to see a show here but if you go with a group of people you get a huge discount off ticket prices. I would reccomend everyone to book there tickets in advance as well as they do sell out very very quick when a good act is on. I wanted to see Beautiful South perform last year but all the tickets sold out within 2 days. The staff are ok in here but a little bit sstuck up. Overall a beautiful building a great night out. There is always something for the whole family to see here.

The play facilities are what make it a fantastic day out for the kids. The coffee is great for the parents left sat with the shoes and coats, longing to be young again and joining in. The staff are all very good, and they are good at getting the kids to join in. There is a chance to pay to do paint and glaze, but in all honesty why would they want to do that when they can be running around like lunitics.

Place looks great, nice beer selection and a good price on the lunch menu. Several interesting…read moremenus with wine and beer were left in a stack on the table. Interesting and confusing at the same time, please keep trying, lots of potential here. Service attentive to the point of predatory (3 attempts were made to take my plate before I had finished). Food was a combination of safe choices (burger with chips) and uh creative (the duck leg was nice, sauce was heavy, cherries soaked in some kind of booze were OTT) . The menu touts pre-celebrity chef Warrick Dodds. Who? Verdict: OK to good food, complicated layout (stairs galore). Staff, busy, young, maybe a little distracted at times. We'll go back and hope for more good deals on interesting food, less anxiety about leaving plates in front of us and clean coffee spoons.

It has a large theatre for shows, as well as function rooms for shows and exhibitions such as recent multicultural events. The Barrow Tourist Information Centre is attached to the Forum, so definitely worth a visit if you're new to Barrow. It also has a large cafe/restaurant downstairs catering for everyone from children to the elderly, and public toilets which are usually clean and tidy. It's right opposite the Town Hall, so you can't miss it. It also has a car park on its roof, which is really handy if you're shopping in town (if a little expensive at 90p an hour!)

At Christmas the Forum 28 is home to the town's annual pantomime. The theatre isn't huge, I've never counted the seats but I cant imagine there are more than 500 seats in the main theatre. The Forum occasionally attracts once famous entertainers such as Paul Daniels, Derek Acorah and Billy Ocean, but for the most part the acts are unknowns or famous in their own limited area of expertise. The Forum is also a venue used by local amateur dramatic societies and dance troops to perform in public. The Forum also has conference rooms that can be hired for private functions such and weddings or business purposes. There is a small cafe in the Forum offering drinks and snacks, and small lunches.
