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.

Pleasant enough evening listening to Bob Harris and Colin Hall's talk about the songs the Beatles, or rather Paul McCartney, wrote for other people.
This was however slightly marred on a stiflingly hot evening by the venues inadequate aircon and a failure by staff to open the fire doors to cool the auditorium; luckily it was only half full.
The tiered seating suffers from poor design and procurement, namely overly 'cosy' seats. Investing in wider 'adult' seats with arms from the outset would've vastly improved the visitor experience.

Great venue for lunch and a film. A real asset for Honiton with plenty of parking onsite and nearby.

Went for lunch at the cafe. Great food and very reasonably priced. I had 'soup'. More like stew! Really filled me up, super tasty and only a fiver with a hunk of nice bread. Will deffo be returning.

Booked to see a band we like as we were on holiday in the area visiting relatives. The theatre was really nice with good seating and a nice bar/reception area. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Car parking was limited and we just missed out, had to park not far away in a public car park but no cost due to the time of day. A fabulous asset for a town like Honiton, they should do everything they can to protect and keep the theatre going.

Excellent venue for live music, cinema which shows current films only a short while after showings at main cinemas as well as dementia friendly nostalgia cinema screenings, amateur dramatics and musicals . Also used for many social events. There is a bar and ample car parking.

Considering this is not a permanent cinema set-up the quality was really good (I think it's also the community centre). We had to travel nearly an hour to get here because it was one of the last cinemas showing Spiderman into the multiverse. Even so, I would make the trip again to watch other movies.
Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Don't expect to have a huge variety of sweets/popcorn so bring your own, but they do have a bar and you can take your drinks in to the cinema, and there'll also be someone in the cinema space selling ice-cream.
Definitely recommend it.

What a truly fantastic show, and his co act Eric Sedge was brilliant...
Both so talented, Digance as funny now as ever... seen him a couple of times previously in Torbay in the 90's and he is still relevant today... unlike many entertainers who have not translated well
The Beehive what really lovely personal space to see an artist... friendly staff at the bar, reasonable prices, and jugs of cold water on the bar to help yourself
