We have been to this theatre several times and they have an excellent events programme, quite a mixture, so something for everyone. On this occasion we went to see The Manfreds. They were fantastic , yes, after all these years(!) The theatre is very cosy and the seats unlike many other theatres are soooo comfortable. An ideal venue for a... More

First time to the Gulbenkian and it was a 90% success. The missing 10% is because the location on the University of Kent Campus meant it wasn't the easiest place to find and when we did - and we were 1 3/4 hours early we couldn't park in the small car park and had to drive quite a way away... More

I saw some comedy here, it was so funny. They host many exciting evenings. I suggest a walk down there. Plus they have sweets and stuff. And nice food

A great range of shows at good prices. Never been to a bad show and always good value for money. Not the smartest of venues, but it doesn't matter when the shows are good and the prices great.

I live local to the Gulbekian and decided to give it a go and went to see The Crucible, the venue was excellent and just a right size to feel intimate but still a good size, the performance was awesome and has now got us hooked and looking to book our next show. I can't comment on the food as... More

This is a really nice theatre, brings you close to the performing artists, great sounds. Very good acts appear at this theatre, in fact I would say this theatre is much better than the new format Marlow, in terms of seating and artists appearing. Nice little casual restaurant too, offering good food at a reasonable price, with great service..

Comfortable seating, spacious venue, accessible, easy car parking, relaxed but well managed, logically designed, reasonably priced tickets, often featuring great, 'up-and-coming' acts. It's a pleasure visiting the Gulbenkian Theatre.

Have been to a number of concerts here over the years. Great seating, view of the stage and sound. Also, the food served is excellent and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
