    Wonderful show this evening, our second visit to this lovely theatre. Will definitely be visiting again to support the venue, volunteers and performers. Provincial theatre is so important to our performing arts.

    Great local theatre. Long may it thrive! Only quibble would be the tiny bar area (doubling up as a tiny entrance foyer cum box office) which was uncomfortably rammed at our performance). Otherwise a real asset to Henley-on-Thames.

    Quaint little traditional theatre which sits around 200 people. There is a small reception area where you can purchase drinks, snacks and ice cream too.

    Lovely, old - in the evocative sense - theatre. Polite and helpful staff. Small enough to feel part of the performance... seat pitch a bit of a challenge if you're 6' plus.

    Great local theatre with very high quality shows. Also has some famous names performing but be quick, as these shows sell out rapidly. The bar area is possibly the tiniest I've ever seen! But there's a good range of refreshments available, including a fine cup of tea and a generous glass of wine. The seats are comfortable and the view of the stage is good throughout. Hghly recommended!
