Overall Rating
Excellent
This was a visit to a community theatre based at Strode College in Street, Somerset to see 'A Man Called Ove' (definitely recommend this film as well as the venue). This is a small but very professional and welcoming venue. People were very friendly and helpful; it was a great night. There is a small cafe-bar to enjoy before performances and very clean wheelchair accessible toilets on both floors as well as a lift. Great view from the wheelchair spaces but the overall feeling of a small art-house theatre venue really adds to the experience and seems to embrace the full meaning of community. The programming is amazing too and very varied from dance, opera, tributes, world and mainstream cinema to conferences. Thanks all staff for such a positive experience.
