- Jackie192014London, United Kingdom26 contributionsTheatre oasis in the woodland of the hotel groundsWe had tickets to the Hairspray Show, which was fantastic. The singing & musicians were fantastic. The weather was not kind & poured the whole evening but the cast carried on regardless with the stage staff continually mopping the outer edges. Thank goodness for the sail roof cover which kept everyone dry. There is a bar behind the seating area, which serves drinks & snacks, with a pre-order system available, which we hadn’t realised but the queues weren’t too bad so we still had time for an ice-cream. Toilet facilities are available in the woodland area & a mobile toilet facility in the car park. It was a very enjoyable show, despite the weather. Highly recommendThankyou so much for your lovely review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the Hairspray Show, despite the rainy weather.

- Christine PNuneaton, United Kingdom189 contributionsFabulous experienceWent to see three shows at the theatre this August. All were fabulous. The theatre is lovely. The parking is great with staff directing you in and out. At the last two shows it was cold in the evening but you can have a blanket for a charity donation which is great The shows we saw were, Last night of the proms. The ELO experience and lastly Money for nothing who we have seen before My only criticism is the price of the drinksThank you for your review , we are so pleased that you enjoyed the three shows that you came to see this summer as part of our annual "Live at Kilworth" season and we look forward to welcoming you back to Kilworth House Theatre again soon.Written 6 September 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 31 August 2023
- MoonwalkerfairyNottingham, United Kingdom114 contributionsLovely outdoor Theatre, great day out!We went to The Theatre part for a showing of Hairspray. The grounds are beautiful, so much rich heritage and history to look around. The Theatre bars/cafe stand were really efficient at serving. It is great that you can order drinks/snacks to be ready for you at the interval. The open air Theatre area is beautiful, unfortunately due to rain we had to have the roof down. But all in all a lovely day. We would definitely visit again.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 22 September 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went to see hairspray with some friends and the show was FANTASTIC…A defo 10/10 performance would definitely watch it again!!! However the average review comes from the price of a wine spritzer at £9.95…absolute robbery!! I’m all for spending more money at these types of venues but £9.95 for a small spritzer in a plastic cup is disgusting!!!

Good afternoon and thankyou so much for your wonderful review of our performance of Hairspray! We had an incredibly talented and hard working cast and production team and I know they would all be delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the performance.
With regards to the price of the wine spritzer, I understand that this was incorrectly overcharged on the night and that we have subsequently been in contact with you in order to rectify this error and refund the overcharges.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Kilworth House Theatre again soon!

Went to see hairspray today and wasn’t disappointed. Brilliant performances by all. Would have got 5 stars but we bought 2 cups of tea and was charged £8. Think that is very overpriced.
