The Beck Theatre Concerts 2024-2025

We visited the theatre post Christmas for the panto - firstly, not from coming from the area, I was expecting a stupidly expensive car park... but no, a large FREE car park right outside was available! (Much easier when you have children in tow!) At the entrance we entered fairly swiftly with tickets scanned and in the foyer it's a large area where you can purchase food / drink. The theatre itself was large and fairly comfortable. Booster seats for the small children as we entered. At the interval we had to pop back to the foyer to get ice creams etc. where as normally would have expected someone selling in the theatre itself (not a problem, but if one parent goes to the loo then you have to drag the kids with you back to foyer area!) We had a great time at The Beck theatre, and the Panto was a hit with us all! (And they allowed / gave us the chance to take photos towards the end of the show!)

The 'Beck' has the advantage of being set within a large open area incorporating a large car park that's free of charge with a fair number of disabled parking bays too. The main entrance caters very well for disabled visitors with a built-in gradient that makes access less labouring. There is a bar that serves an array of alcoholic and non- alcoholic beverages. Seating views are clear and unobstructed.

Great local theatre although let's be honest, its quite dated. Seats are comfortable compared to some theatres in London. I've seen some great comedy here, Russell Howard, Rhod Gilbert etc but tickets for those go very fast! Booked tickets for a Prince tribute once but it got cancelled day before probably due to low ticket sales, so bear that in mind when booking less popular entertainment. I would recommend NOT to eat here, I had a nasty experience in 2022 with a burger I ate.

Too many tribute bands, not enough original Artists.

Had a great evening seeing the Shires.
