    Good sized local theatre which was really nicely furnished with comfy seats and not cramped. The cafe/ bar associated was great. A good choice of drinks and snacks. Fab gins on offer! Would definitely recommend.

    Our first visit to this theatre to see Cinderella ! A great performance by all, our 3 grandchildren and ourselves thoroughly enjoyed this show, highly recommend this venue. The theatre staff were so helpful, unfortunately my granddaughter became ill with severe toothache, and had to leave the show towards the end. A member of staff was so concerned and helpful, unfortunately I didn't get his name, but a big thank to you, you were so kind ! This theatre is certainly a hidden gem, in the theatre world !!

    Went to see beauty and the beast recently (and Cinderella in Dec 21) and both times the experience has been pretty magical. The theatre is a little gem and we should use it more often!

    Saw an excellent Eagles tribute band called Talon. They played a fantastic set of Eagles songs as well as some of their solo efforts. Highly recommended if you like The Eagles.

    Lovely evening spent at the Core theatre watched the production of Rolling back the years 50s 60s and 70s music a very enjoyable experience.

    Lovely cozy venue, seats are comfortable, as someone with back problems I didn't get too uncomfortable for a full 3 hour show. Back stage is well laid out too, so impossible to get lost!

    We visited the Core exhibition room. It is a venue for relatively small exhibitions, many of which are free. It is certainly worth checking when visiting Touchwood. Unfortunately, no publicity is allowed within the shopping mall, so a little research is required .

    I have seen so many wonderful plays over the years here. Well worth a visit

    Went to the Core cafe,as the theatre is closed due to the Wraac. problem. The staff are very friendly & helpful. Also the meals are reasonably priced. I had a jacket potato with cheese & tuna&a pot of tea for just over £9

    An excellent theatre and arts centre. Spacious, modern and clean, with comfortable seating, and well operated by friendly and helpful staff. The cafe has a range of food and drink, including a great range of beers and spirits. Highly recommended.

    Always a great experience and such a nice venue run by some lovely people. The volunteers who make the shows happen are unsung heroes and you can't fail to have a good time here if you enjoy the theatre. Highly recommended!

    Went to Desi central comedy show. Great show at nice decent-sized venue. Clear sound and good visibility of show from front to back of theatre. Served range of food and drink on site, also close parking at touchwood carpark.

    I love this venue. I attend the singing group here and then treat myself to coffee and cake afterwards.

    A lovely show, cast brilliant. Staff polite and helpful, a very good experience.

    Great venue. Very friendly staff though sad that for some reason didn't allow videos or photos of children in a school play to be taken? Not even by official school authoritised photographer/videographer. So no record or memory of what was a great play and evening. Loses a star for that.

    I was there for a ballet, I visit this theatre maybe 3 times a year its in my local town centre. A small auditorium that soon sells out. There is a small bar where food can also be purchased, plenty of parking quite close at not exhorbitant rates. I think this is just about the right size for Solihull. Its also very close to some very good restaurants and pubs.

    Great place to go. Nice shows, small intimate theatre which is good. Just need more serving refreshments as queues were very long. Otherwise need to take your own drink. Otherwise parking good in Touchwood especially great for disabled.

    First visit to this theatre for a concert by Go Now the music of the Moody Blues. Absolutely brilliant. Easy enough to find. The theatre seating is so clever, you have perfect view of the stage and no one's head will be in your view. Great air conditioning, felt very safe. Plus the band were superb. I'd recommend this theatre and I'd definitely recommend you seeing Go Now.

  • 5/5 James K. 4 years ago on Google
    Have been coming here for about 8 years now as both audience and performer and cannot fault the theatre staff from both sides of the curtain. Always friendly and smiling and will be more than happy to have a chat with you and ask how the show is going etc. The cakes are brilliant as well. Very yummy and moreish!! Cant wait for my next visit!!!

    Really nice theatre. The production was really nice and enjoyable. Seats are really comfortable and they even have booster seats for children, but you have to request for them. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Attended King Pleasure and the biscuit boys show here last night. It was the venue's first live show, and I wasn't sure what restrictions would be in place, and whether our enjoyment of the show would be affected I'd just like to say the staff were fantastic, although some restrictions had to be in place, it was extremely well done, the staff were all really on the ball, and extremely polite, advising and guiding all of the audience into what they needed to do. It felt well organised and very safe. Well done to all concerned.

🫤 Having read some other reviews, I guess I just expect too much! It was like going back to what I imagine trucking was like in the 1970's. Deep fried poor quality sausage! Not seen since Glasgow 1994. Parking was ok, large yard, well organised if you don't get boxed in, the toilets and shower were li...
