Wokingham Theatre
WHERE
Wokingham
What it’s like
A community theatre putting on eight main productions a year, plus youth theatre classes for 7 to 17 year olds.
Eight main season productions a year is a proper amount of theatre for one venue to put on, and it means there's usually something on if you fancy a night out at the panto or a play. Alongside the main shows there's youth theatre for 7 to 17 year olds, so if you've got a child who wants to be on stage rather than just watching, that's the route in.
Season tickets are where the real saving is, at £1 off each show, but they say numbers are limited each year, so you'd want to get in early rather than assume you can pick one up whenever. If your season ticket night clashes with something else, the box office will swap you onto another performance of the same production if there's space, or you can pass the tickets on to friends or family.
It's wheelchair accessible with dedicated seats, plus a hearing loop, so if access is a factor for anyone in your group it's worth flagging when you book rather than turning up and hoping. Booking for accessible seats goes through the box office by phone rather than online.
