A fabulous evening in an historic setting. Had a light supper and drinks in the garden before the performance. The Lord of The Rings musical was an exceptional experience, partly outdoors then moving into the theatre itself. We would most definitely recommend this venue, and only wish we lived closer as we would attend on a regular basis
Really great theatre in a nice area. Nice green spaces, pretty views and not near any busy roads.
Production I went to see was excellent and made good use of the space including a few bits outside.
Leg room in the seats is a bit of an issue if you're tall but everything else makes up for that.
We had an incredible evening watching the Lord of the Rings, a musical tale at the Watermill Theatre.
Our first visit to the theatre. We had a very friendly welcome. It is a beautiful Theatre in a great setting. The production started outside in the garden before moving into the Theatre.
The production was outstanding. All the cast were so talented playing multiple instruments. The set was very impressive and every part of the theatre was used to full effect.
We had a magical evening and will definitely come to the Watermill again.
Experienced the best ever immersive theatre show here. The Lord of the Rings a Musical Tale.. We were welcomed along to film interviews with the creators.. A beautiful venue with water flowing and wildlife in the countryside! A performance venue like none other... Looking forward to our next shoot on the Yellow Brick Road... Spell-binding place.
What a magical place to experiment the new adaptation of LOR. Beautiful setting and an intimate theatre that allows you a truly immersive experience. It's a 4 hour drive for us to get there, but if I can get tickets I'll be back in a heartbeat. If you want a bite to eat there's a range of bites to choose from even a themed LOR menu.
This theatre is an absolute gem with some of the most incredibly talented cast you will ever see, not just regionally but nationally. An intimate, atmospheric space where each actor generally plays instruments as well as sings and dances; just jaw-dropping to watch.
Not only that but the scenery around The Watermill is incredibly beautiful with a stream running past and outdoor seating in the summer and a cosy bar and restaurant throughout the year. We have been going for decades, even before we were local and now take our children to weekly classes which are a highlight.
An unforgettable experience every time we visit
We went to see The Lord of the Rings at Watermill Theatre. It was a lovely small and cosy theatre. The show was excellent. I would recommend it to every Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fan.
Brilliant small historic & traditional theatre set in the countryside, lovely staff & great performances, with a lovely setting and with a choice of facilities eg restaurant, cafe and bar
Small theatre set in an old water mill building, in the countryside near Newbury.
Beautiful gardens with a river running through - hence water mill.
We had a fabulous evening at the opening night of Lord of the Rings. Amazing cast, fantastic acting and an excellent front of house team. Thank you!
