The Beehive

Reviewed By trevorh86 - Rochester, United Kingdom

Booked to see a band we like as we were on holiday in the area visiting relatives. The theatre was really nice with good seating and a nice bar/reception area. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Car parking was limited and we just missed out, had to park not far away in a public car park but no cost due to the time of day. A fabulous asset for a town like Honiton, they should do everything they can to protect and keep the theatre going.
