Interesting museum. They've got Christopher the Giant and Hobnob, some painting by Whistler and a…read more'Stonehenge gallery'. Bill Bryson said something to the effect of 'go there at once'. Well worth going to if you're in Salisbury for more than a couple of hours.

Amazing rooms!! So nicely decorated and so clean. The bathroom was immaculate too…read more The gals working at the bar are so nice. The check in process was easy and smooth. I did not expect such a wonderful place to stay and we were blown away!

The hotel is gorgeous, staff is really friendly....however the live band sounds like it is playing…read morein our room. Nothing was said a band would be playing during the booking process, sounding it was in the hotel room you booked in, until we checked in. When the front desk told us their was a band tonight, We NEVER thought it would be as loud as it is. We have been joking that it's like staying at a frat house. That's the only reason for the low rating. If we would have known it would be this intrusive we would not have booked here. Makes having to get a 5 am start difficult when it's now 11pm and they are going strong.

From the outside, it looks rather odd. It looks like they tried to fit it into an irregular…read morepolygonal courtyard; maybe they had to? It isn't really fair to judge a theatre from the outside, though. I've seen excellent, professional productions given inside buildings not much better than a converted ex-Army Nissen hut. But, the Salisbury Playhouse is no Nissen hut; far from it. Once inside, it's spacious but comfortable, There's a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, but we didn't eat there, just had a coffee which was, in my opinion, rather ordinary and somewhat overpriced. The auditorium is the main thing. Comfortable seats, plenty of space and, above all, steeply tiered. I think the man in front could have worn a top hat, and I'd still have been able to see the stage. I did have a little difficulty hearing the dialogue early on. Whether that was down to acoustics, the actor's delivery or the fact I hadn't really tuned in, I couldn't say. But, it seemed to sort itself out after only five minutes or so, and I was able to settle down and enjoy the performance.

Ever since the grant of £1.47 million from the National Lottery, the playhouse has gone from…read morestrength to strength. Situated perfectly in the city centre, the playhouse has a reputation for new exciting theatre to match its glossy modern refurbished shell. The theatre itself is of no great capacity and the audience are often in close quarters to the actors. This is certainly no drawback as it adds greatly to the atmosphere of the playhouse. Some innovative new plays have arisen out of the venue and i look forward to its continued success.

Being an aircraft buff I ensured that this became a part of (my wife's) visit to Salisbury…read moreCathedral. It is 20-30 min by city bus from Salisbury, with the stop about 200m from the museum. A very interesting assortment of fighters and bombers including Prototype #2 of the English Electric Lightning, the first Mach 2 fighter in the world. Visitors are permitted to sit in cockpits of many of the a planes. The museum store sells Airfix model kits (remember those?!). I also noticed a shop near Salisbury Train Station that sold such model kits.

Not your typical aircraft museum! I visited with a two other guys who were 30+ and it was a great…read morevisit. Really interesting volunteers all eager to talk about anything related to the aircraft , they ranged from a retired Vulcan pilot, retired ground crew to anoraks helping restore some of the planes! Virtually everything could be touched, played with, sat in so I think this would be a great place to take kids - although you'd need to keep a close eye on them as it is a little tricky scaling ladders and getting into some of the cockpits. I really puts a different view on many of the aircraft. We also got to have a go in the Link trainer at the end of the visit which was a good fun and I assume gives you some idea of what it is like to fly (I'm not a pilot). If you are an enthusiast of have kids I'd say it was a great way to spend a couple of hours if you are passing by!
