Excellent venue for shows! Wonderful art-deco building, very aesthetic and the acoustics are pretty good too.
Staff are polite and friendly.
They host a great range of shows so there is something for everyone.

Been many times and look forward to attending many more shows at this wonderful venue!

Most recent show I attended was ABC with a full orchestra, that was just WOW!

Great venue with very good acoustics. We had seats in the upper circle, which were comfortable and had better leg-room than your average theatre seats. There was no warning that the show was about to start, the lights just went out, which was rather a shock😂

We went to see Soul II Soul, who were amazing. The venue itself was good. We were seated up on the balcony and had a good view of the stage

We saw a great orchestral concert by the Bath philharmonia in this wonderful art deco building, thankfully saved from the developers.
The forum programs a wide variety of concerts so it's no surprise that the bar serves drinks in plastic cups, but a bit of discernment wouldn't go amiss. I don't think the audience at an orchestral concert are likely to start fighting with glasses and it would certainly add a more sophisticated air to the event if they could provide glasses. A 125 ml measure of wine in a plastic cup is a bit of a joke. But still, this can't detract from the sheer pleasure of live orchestral music at this wonderful venue.

Another excellent evening recently at The Forum to see Sarah Millican. A great venue with good views from almost every seat, bar and snacks available. Queue for the ladies’ toilets in the interval (as with all theatres) was very long!

We came to watch aunty Donna and it was a good experience. Theatre staff were nice, it was very busy and we were dealt with promptly. No waiting around at all. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced for a theatre as well.

Very nice place, easy to get to and the car park is just opposite side of the road. There is a cozy cafe in there too.

This is a lovely theatre. Very pretty. Art deco. Lovely staff. For a vintage theatre the seats are quite generous in terms of space. Great view of the stage, even from the circle. Car parking just around the corner.

Excellent venue for anyone with access issues and/or assistance dogs.
Staff were very helpful, kind and cheerful. They went above and beyond for myself ( mobility issues ) and my husband and his Hearing Dog ( for deaf people ) Noel.
The concert itself was great.
Wet Wet Wet and Go West.
Would not hesitate to visit again.

Really good staff was friendly/helpful, bands were great(Wet Wet Wet and Go West) great evening all round.

Love this venue. Big enough to attract decent acts but not so big that it becomes horribly crowded.

Went to the forum to see the Carrie Hope Fletcher tour. Its a lovely venue that is hidden in plain sight. Staff were welcoming and helpful and is a lovely venue in the heart of Bath. We had a fantastic view despite being near the very back, which was fantastic!

Beautiful venue. Looks fresh. We were seated on chairs so can't speak for the fixed ones.

A fantastic venue that has a great mixture of entertainment. Most of the seats have a good view of the stage and ventilation is really good. Ticket prices are great value and the staff are very helpful.

Saw the incredible Simon Reeve here tonight, easy getting in to the venue, slower getting out. Long que for the toilets.

Overall a great venue, have been here several times.

Great music venue. Sadly I booked a seat in row B which was attached to the next seat by a metal clasp. The person next to me was a larger lady and she spilled over into my space and I ended up perched on the edge of the seat. Rows AA, A and B looked more cramped than the rest of the permanent seats. I will book them next time. I loved that there were water bottles with plastic cups in the foyer if you didnt want to buy a drink.

Superb gig, brilliant acoustics and helpful staff. Massive car park round the back.

Love this place ny new go to for great events. Beautiful building and comfy seats

What a superb venue!
The parking at Southgate Centre is a two minute walk away from this former cinema, which makes it very attractive to people from out of town.
The seating was comfortable and the decor is stunning art deco.

Great place and friendly staff.
The seats were comfortable and spacious which was great.
