Cafe, food and drink places limited selection and pricey. Disabled access, helpful staff. Can drop off infront of the theatre but parking is in northgate car park £6 for 5 hours. No charge after 8pm to 8am mon- fri, but if you stay over this time period, need to pay. There are disabled spaces close to the theatre. Theatre seats reasonable size and comfort.

Absolutely wonderful theatre, I got a real sense that I was part of the performance. As an actor, the stage is perfect for small casts and connecting with the audience. Backstage facilities high quality, and the staff were incredibly helpful

A very intimate experience, certainly if you are sitting in the front row, which for our show had just 2 seats in each section. The theatre mimics the hexagon shape of its bigger sibling but on a much smaller scale.
