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.

I have been to lots of productions at The Lion and this was certainly one of their best productions. A really clever set and exciting acting brought the play to life.
It is a tiny theatre run by local amateur players providing shows of a very high caliber.
The panto’s are always a sellout too so if you’re in the area this is a treat you wouldn’t want to miss.

A full female cast..... all well received....contributing to a believable 'comedy' storyline. Much enjoyed, interval taken at The Red Lion olde pub, yards from the actual theatre (thankyou)...or a pre-ordered ice cream......
We will return..
