    D E L I G H T F U L I had the pleasure of watching this LOVELY show this morning. I really enjoyed it as did all of the school kids. I thought it was a wonderful story for children and even elders I know would thoroughly enjoy this. It was called One Snowy Night. The performers were all so incredibly talented. Truly wonderful. The entire production was done impressively. The staff at Norden Farm were also attentive and helpful. Highly recommended this production 👌🏻

    What a wonderful venue for the people of Maidenhead and surrounds. Theatre, cafe, food and art all in a comfortable modern space added to a series of interesting older buildings. I visited with my family (wife, kids and my mum) for a reasonably priced Christmas/winter show. The children were entranced by Miki, the tale of an Inuit child playing with her penguin and polar bear friends before using Midwinter magic to explore the ocean. Lovely staging, wonderful puppets and puppeteering and decent acting. I had a lovely time, enjoyed the show, and the listings suggest I'd be present more often if I lived nearby.

    Absolutely the best cinema Live feed I have seen. EVER. We saw the Nutcracker from Covent Garden. Beautifully done. I felt like we were there. We clapped! Almost gave the Arabian dance a standing ovation! Slightly odd in a cinema context. (Take a blanket -4 outside)

    Lovely local arts venue. Cafe bar, big comedians test out their new shows, art exhibitions, theatre, cinema, live music, private functions, etc, etc. It really was a farm once, and is now in the middle of a residential area. Love it.

    Very frustrating visit to the market. The events starts at 6 and ends at 9. We arrived intending to get something to eat at 7:15, took a look around the market which didn’t contain any food stalls so started queueing around 7:25 at the bar. When we got to the front of the queue, we were advised we couldn’t have the fish and chips on the menu we had in our hands the whole time because the kitchen stopped at 7:30. It was 7:32. Unimpressive first visit to Norden farm and i felt poor service given the above. If you head to the market, recommend you eat first and don’t rely on being able to get anything there.

    We've been to two concerts here and the staff are always very helpful and attending to any needs regarding wheelchair seats/companion seats. Both the large venue and the studio have good wheelchair access, and there are several disabled parking bays outside, though they do fill up quickly.

    This was our 2nd visit here for lunch, much busier with the market and a performance taking place this time. Even with it being busy there was still plenty if seating and the food ordering and service was very quick. Plenty of choices with a few vegan options included. Food was very tasty, we will definitely be going back.

    The Salts are a band of very competent musicians that looked worried and puzzled at so many empty seats. Maybe their false belief that they are good enough at sea shanties while all they did was lightweight rock can explain the empty seats.

    Today, we'd booked lunch and tickets for the Band of the Royal Household Cavalry. Lunch was lovely, and the band was brilliant such a great afternoon, and every age was cattered for with a great variety of music and song.

    Fantastic theatre which provides the viewer with excellent vision of the acts on stage, along with great sound quality. The bar was well manned and offered a nice selection of drinks. ( I didn't partake of any of the meals on offer this time, but next time, yes please). All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I absolutely strongly recommend Norden Farm Centre Theatre to everyone.

    I loved it. Visited for first time for Mikki show and loved it. Will book future activities for kids for sure 👍 Have enough car parking, but I think during peak times will be hard to find one inside, decent cafe/restaurant

    First time here to see a comedian, and she was great! It's a nice intimate size theatre, the bar area looks good but it was busy and I'm not sure if this is where the food would also be served. I'd visit again, as its value for money and local for me.

  • 5/5 Reena H. 7 months ago on Google
    Love this place. The performance was brilliant, and kids and parents equally enjoyed the show! Good parking. Good size venues will all kid friendly amenities you need! What's not to like? :-)

    Attended the NYE Hoedown Event. Well done to all at Norden Farm. Well organised and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

    Saw Just Radiohead here in the theatre, slightly big venue for the number of people attending. Good seats, good view. Bar area very comfortable, not sure what it would be like with a lot of people.

    Great activities on all year round. Great venue for shows. Held two family parties here and staff have always been super helpful. The buffet food is great quality and interesting choices. Easy to park.

    Lovely gem of a place. So much going on. Seen a good comedy performance in the theatre, had a lunch, been to the market, had a Tango class, enjoyed an artisan pint and a decent glass of Malbec all at reasonable prices. Great local that confirms being outside of London doesn't mean giving up on life!

    Nice to get back to Norden Farm after a long absence due to Covid risks. It's all fine, the bar is a bit daunting due to plastic screens. Plenty of people there and a good atmosphere. Nobody worrying too much about the virus. I enjoyed my evening.

    Amazing food! Loved the brownies especially. Staff is also very friendly and welcoming. 😊

    First time going here and I will admit I was pleasantly surprised, very helpful and friendly staff, bar area, nice theatre with balconies haven't explored all of it yet but watched a concert which was very good. Would I go again, yes I will.

    Jen Brister Supported by Ingrid Dahle and a pint of Rebellion IPA...what more do you need? Maybe one of Gwyneth's candles? Or maybe NOT. The show was great and both ladies' material new and punchy!

    Norden farm is a jewel of Maidenhead! great shows and art and dance classes. Thank you for always having an amazing variety of events.

    Quiet, inspiring, ideal place to sit and draw on myiPad or read a book - great art books here on the window shelves. Just been to One Snowy Night with my 6 y.o., loved it ♥️

    Great local venue with a wide variety of activities including a great selection of live music. Needs support to ensure we keep this venue. If you haven't been then book and keep going.

    Went here to here see Harry Hill's warm up before his major tour. He was terrible but the venue is very nice with a good bar area. Just a couple of comments. If it's a popular show, as this was, the car park fills up quickly but parking is available down the road at Altwood school. We were sat in row D and the seats are joined. Unfortunately they are a bit loose so if someone is fidgety then the whole row feels them moving about. Very off putting. However this is nice venue and I can thoroughly recommend it.

    I attended Norden farm centre to enable my daughter to undertske her grade 3 Piano examination. I have founs the building, grounds and refreshment bar to be most pleasing. If you do attend Norden Farm Arts Centre to take in any of the acts from music to comedy tell them that Niall sent you, they will not know who you are talking about :-)

    A great local arts centre that caters for everyone. We prefer to watch films here over the bigger cinemas, easy free parking and the food served is very good so makes a lovely evening out.

    Thank you Norden Farm. We held an event at Norden Farm and all the correspondence in the run up was so helpful and supportive. All went to plan on the day. Many Thanks to the staff especially Terri. Would definitely recommend Norden Farm Centre for the Arts.

    Great venue, very friendly staff, The Amy Winehouse Experience was absolutely brilliant!

  • 5/5 M W. 2 years ago on Google
    Back there for the first time since start of covid and it was as amazing as ever. Saw No Jacket Required the best Phil Collins tribute band ever. Great band, great venue made a GREAT evening

  • 5/5 Teresa C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is such a fabulous venue we are so lucky to have it. We ate before the show and the food is fine, not fancy, but good value for money in my view. The theatre is fantastic for live theatre and 'A Band called Malice' were terrific 😀

  • 5/5 allistaire l. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue. It says something significant when almost every performer thanks the venue for being such a perfect host to them. The atmosphere that attitude from the team creates for the whole visitor experience is fabulous
