The old cinema has been re-vamped with gantry's for the audience. Good acoustics and the line of sight to the stage is good.

Went to see Duane Eddy with my parents, average age was over 60. The upstairs was locked as was all the seats. No-one had a key so half the audience couldn't enjoy the concert, doesn't take a brain surgeon. Think about your customers.

This is my absolute favourite place to see a band! Newton Faulkner was as good as ever the other night, great banter with the crowd! My favourite gig of all time was seeing The Fun Loving Criminals here a couple of years ago. One contributor mentioned noise, the Unthanks played slap-bang in the middle of the folk-festival, so the crowd... More

Small and interesting but not a good venue for a quiet gig (The Unthanks). People were continually walking into the room through the back doors and the bar staff were very noisy throughout. Not quite the Intimate Evening we were promised!

The Picturedrome is a superb venue for live music. Various levels, floor and two balconies. Good lighting set up. Good bar. Security staff are efficient and friendly. They do need to sort out their box office telephone line as it seems to have given the same "we can't take your message" message for around six months. But overall, this is... More

We've been here twice now to see a gig, and the most recent visit was last night to see Hue and Cry. It's just great to have this venue on our door step. Chairs available if you want to sit, but plenty of standing room if you want to have a little boogie! Really enjoyed the gig, and love The... More
