    Great band stand to see a live band. We saw the Blues Brother tribute band, they were great. People were singing and dancing. Great evening. You also see a wonderful sunset along Walpole Bay. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back.

    Keep up to date on their website, usually a live performance most weeks. So Get up, Get out and Get on.

    Great outing - it was the annual Pride day with the street parade afterwards.

    It's a lovely place as an outside performance area. Well positioned for coastal views but quite away out of the main town. More seating options would be gratefully appreciated, I feel. On the day of the event I attended, organisation was excellent - plenty of toilets provided and kept clean. Great atmosphere

    Such a fun place on Pride Day. Can't really vouch for the rest of the time, but lots of local events happen here, so that has to be a good thing, right? It's very basic ... just an amphitheatre space really, but easily filled with stalls and mobile food outlets ... Anyway, Pride had a lovely feel ...

    I recently attended a theatre show of The Pirates of Penzance at The Oval, and it was an absolute joy...the staff were friendly, the performance was superb and the cocktails from the bar were lovely. It's remarkable how the bandstand has been transformed in recent years. Congratulations to the community group for their hard work and dedication. A perfect 10 out of 10 from me!

    Run by a local community who are doing a fantastic job .lots of weekly events throughout the season . Music on a Sunday, evening market with music. Films,and even wrestling brought back after many years . Nice hot drinks and this season they have opened a new bar selling alcoholic drinks .they deserve to to do well

    There is so much work done by the society to make this and other events there a success. Today was no exception. It was good to see a lot of families out and enjoying the market, the playbus and the music

    Watched 3 young guys in an Inďie band here. They were extremely good and the location is excellent so close to the sea. Excellent to see it being put to such good use .

    Sunday afternoon concerts great fun. Food and drinks to buy. Good variety of acts. Thanks for opening somewhere for people to go with a family or on own and feel safe.
