The shows includes stand up comedians such as Paul Merton and Jimmy Carr, Tribute bands with names like 'Think Floyd' and 'T-Rextacy', ballets, school productions and Derek 'ghost hunter' Acorah. The venue holds a fair few hundred and there are the traditional ice cream seller in the breaks and a bar and restaurant if you want to make a night of it. The Spa is in need of some modernisation but this may take away from its Victorian charm so you will have to make your own mind up when you visit. ...enjoy a great seafront walk and take in a show!

This was a slight problem as I had traveled from Manchester and had a large overnight bag with me. The staff were fantastic and the duty manager took my bag and stored it safely in his office leaving me free to have a great time. The theatre itself is lovely with very good acoustics. I had a great time. After the concert I was very well looked after by the security manager who, when the manager came down with my bag opened the ladies toilet to allow me to change. He then carried my very heavy bag into the staff car park for me(as I was travelling with the organisation) keyed me into the car park!! I was treated very well by a attentive and friendly staff, its a great venue and I can't wait to return.

They seem to have a decent range of acts and shows on, and the seats that we had gave us a decent view and didn't seem too cramped, and the ticket prices pretty average. Just a small complaint - there isn't much parking nearby, so there is a bit of a walk to the largest car park, but I wouldn't let that put you off. It's on the edge of the town centre so handy for there if you want to go and find something to eat or drink.

Although some performers are not to everyone's taste, the hall itself is well-equipped with padded seat and reasonable acoustics. The atmosphere is dragged down by the fact that the hall is attached to the town's only leisure centre badminton courts painted on the floor are one feature caused by this. Staff are usually quite helpful and parking is ample, although you now have to pay to park. In all, a reasonable venue three stars.
