I've seen many a show at the Bacon Theatre, as they are very child friendly and welcoming, I love the seating in long comfortable benches, when you have wriggling kids with you this type of seating is better than the flip up ones. The drinks, sweets and Ice Creams are reasonably priced ( cheaper than other theatres) which all helps on a family night/day out. You can park really close to the Theatre as it is situated in Dean Close School, no parking meters, perfect. They have a varied array of interesting performances and I have never been let down, I love the Open air festival at the Tuckwell over the road, tucked in among the trees with a candle lit walk way down to reveal a charming amphitheatre. Its great to get some friends together with a bottle of wine,snacks etc and watch a film or play with the light fading and the fresh summer air all around you, truly magical. It did rain one year though but they had made provisions to transfer to the Bacon Theatre where we could still enjoy our picnic, no problem. Hope I haven't gone on to much, but having children and still managing to get out and see shows altogether with minimal hassle and expense is a god send to me. Thank you Bacon Team read more
