Customer Reviews
My recent visit to the Contact Theatre to see the Pantomime Rumpelstiltskin was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The production of Rumpelstiltskin was nothing short of outstanding. It was a truly exceptional piece of theatre that captivated the audience. The quality of the performance, the production values, and the overall energy made it a memorable night out and a credit to the Contact Theatre's artistic vision. Beyond the excellent show, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Contact Theatre's house staff, who were an absolute credit to the venue. The team demonstrated high levels of professionalism and genuine care. In particular, I want to acknowledge Zac and Wayne who were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our visit was comfortable and enjoyable. Their helpfulness made a significant positive impact on the overall experience. The combination of a top-tier production and truly first-rate, attentive staff makes the Contact Theatre a must-visit venue. I highly recommend attending, and I look forward to returning soon.
We went along to the Manchester Literature Festival @ the Contact Theatre! It was a lovely night and a well run event! The seating was super comfy and drinks/refreshments were available. We will definitely be coming to some more events here soon!
I recently visited the Contact Theatre in Manchester for a book event, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The venue is very easy to find and the building itself is architecturally stunning from the outside – it’s a really impressive and iconic structure that stands out. Once inside, there is a pleasant atmosphere. There was a bar available, which was perfect for grabbing a drink before the event started. While it was a bit disappointing that not all the drinks on the menu were available, the service was friendly and it didn't detract from the overall positive experience. All in all, the Contact Theatre is a wonderful venue. Its unique design, pleasant interior, and convenient location make it an excellent choice for any event.
