Epsom Playhouse

Overview

Epsom Playhouse is a lovely venue for families who enjoy the performing arts. With a 450-seat auditorium, it hosts a delightful mix of drama, comedy, opera, and dance shows. The atmosphere is intimate, making it a brilliant spot for kids to experience live performances without feeling overwhelmed. It's also a great place for jazz evenings in the smaller studio space, which adds a nice touch to the variety on offer.

Parents rave about the friendly staff and the quality of the performances. You'll often hear about how impressed families are after seeing shows like Sweeney Todd or Susie Dent's comedy act. The seating is arranged so that even from the back, you can catch a good view of the stage. Just remember, while it's a lovely theatre, the seating could use a refresh as they're a bit on the hard side for longer shows.
