Grove Park Theatre
WHERE
Wrexham
What it’s like
A community theatre putting on pantomimes and youth productions, with parking a minute away at Island Green.
Pantomime is the big draw here, the sort of daft, shouty show where the kids get to boo the villain and yell "he's behind you" without anyone telling them to pipe down. There's also a youth theatre for 11 to 18 year olds, so if you've got a teenager who fancies being on stage rather than watching from the stalls, that's worth knowing about.
The box office only opens on two Saturday mornings before each play, 11am to 12pm, which is a narrow window and easy to miss if you're not paying attention. There's a coffee lounge open Saturday mornings too, 11 to 1, so you can grab a drink while you're there sorting tickets.
Parking is straightforward. Island Green pay-and-display car park is a minute's walk from the theatre.
It's a small, local sort of theatre rather than a big glossy production house, and that's part of the charm if you're after something less polished and more community-feeling than a big city panto.
