Medium size theatre. Sound and lighting is average, but very good for basic plays or presentation. Today it was used for general dancing competition and presentation to family and friends. Food and drinks available pre show and intermission refreshments. Ample car parking with easy access from the north main

Allan Hillman ☆ 4/5

Been going here for years to see live shows and concerts. It's small but cozy. The seats need an overhaul as they're old and uncomfortable. Mind you at the moment there is much renovation work going on at GJ T, with temporary toilets outside and the cafe is an outside popup until work is finished. I've enjoyed many a show there and can recommend to others.

Michelle Allen ☆ 5/5

Very nice theatre but they stuffed up our seating for mum who needs wheelchair access as she uses a walker most of the time. Lucky she'd left it at hime this day. They tried to make up for it, but still left her with steps to go up and down and too much walking...

I come here at least once a year to watch Ultimate Energy’s end of year dance performance... Although it is easy to get to, getting out after the concert is a bit like crazy peak hour 😩😩 And that’s if u can even cross the driveway/road on the campus grounds to get to where you have parked your own car-I stood there for a good 5 minutes waiting yesterday (29/11/19) before literally having to play ‘chicken’ and make a mad dash for it...
