What it’s like
A proper local theatre stage with pantomimes, plays, musicals, films and dance shows through the year, tickets from £5 for members.
Pantomimes are the big draw here, but the programme runs to plays, musicals, films, dance shows and concerts across the year, so it's worth a look beyond the Christmas show. A sample listing like The Diary of Anne Frank shows the range this stage takes on, ticketed at £20 on the door or £5 for members, which is the kind of gap that makes joining up worth a thought if you go more than once a season.
Booking online or by phone adds an 8% fee, and phoning it in tacks on £2.50 postage unless you take the electronic ticket. Buy in person at Congleton Information Centre instead and there's no booking fee at all, which feels like a nudge worth taking if you're not in a rush.
Wheelchair access is properly thought through: a flat route from foyer to auditorium, up to six wheelchair spaces on the front row with a companion each, and accessible toilets just outside. Give them notice if you need one of those spaces. There's a car park on Park Road, with extra parking at Riverside Mill laid on for evening performances, and reserved spaces if you ask ahead.

Plan your visit
How much are tickets?
It varies by show. A recent production, The Diary of Anne Frank, was £20 standard or £5 for members.
How do we book, and is there a fee?
Book online or by phone and there's about an 8% booking fee, plus £2.50 postage if you want a printed ticket by phone. Book in person at Congleton Information Centre and you skip the fee entirely.
Is there parking?
Yes, their own car park on Park Road, with extra parking at Riverside Mill for evening shows. You can ask for a reserved space in advance.
Can we bring a wheelchair?
There's a flat access route from the foyer straight into the auditorium, and up to six wheelchair users can be seated on the front row with a companion. Give them prior notice so they can set it up.
What kind of shows are on?
Pantomimes, plays, musicals, films, dance shows and concerts, so the programme changes through the year rather than sticking to one format.
