Our first visit to a lovely oldish, but refurbished, theatre. We went to see The Dancing Queen Show, an ABBA tribute. Everything was good. Comfy seats, really aren't any bad seats in terms of view. Wine etc available at the bar at reasonable prices. We'll certainly keep an eye out for other events there.

Have attended two shows here recently. The seating is very comfortable and the acoustics are good. Lots of leg room and good view of the stage area. Recommend.
