Chorley Theatre

Chorley Theatre is a volunteer-run independent venue staging plays, musicals, pantos, touring comedy, music and films.Built in 1910, it has been owned and operated by amdram group CADOS since 1960 and produces at least 6 full shows per year, plus 2 by Chorley Youth Theatre. It's an ideal venue for comedy shows by top stand-up comedians, and the regular film showings are digitally projected on to the big screen, with Surround Sound. There's a great-priced bar and the building has full disabled access. Any profits go back into the upkeep of the building, and all income comes from ticket and bar sales.

Always a good show - apart from Pantomines which I always choose to miss - my choice not Chorley Little Theatre's fault. I believe they are much appreciated by those who enjoy this genre. Easy to book through Malcolm's Musicland. Parking close by and excellent. Drinks and snacks very good value - don't bring your own support the theatre.

Pasaje Del Terror

Pasaje Del Terror is an interactive and realistic horror experience. A walk through horror show with live actors in which groups of around 8-10 people embark on a terrifying journey, without any guide, through a labyrinth of hair-raising shocks and surprises. A theatrical setting arranged into 20 sets and with around 18 actors lurking in the darkness. The realism of the scenes, the multiple special effects and the shocking energy with which these characters appear out of nowhere will leave you breathless and trembling until you find the exit.

So my friends (Theme Park Nomads) and my partner and I (8-bit family) went and did Journey To Hell: Freak Nights at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The night itself was a VERY mixed bag- but the finale was of course a trip through Pasaje Del Terror. After a strange long tedious night, we were DESPERATE for some scares. Now, this was October evening, and we had been outside for best part of three hours, including being sprayed with water, being made to kneel in the cold, being shouted at- so we were not in the best of moods. In our wait to enter Pasaje we were entertained by undoubtedly one of our highlights of the entire ordeal. Lantern Man, as we collectively nicknamed him (later found his name is Antony) was BRILLIANT. We were cold and tired but our lantern-wielding guide made us laugh through the whole queue. He dealt with our comebacks with equally clever banter, he stayed in character the whole time, and made us PLEASE, whoever is in charge, give him a raise. The actual attraction was amazing. As avid horror fans, we loved all the references and Easter eggs, every room was themed beautifully and it was genuinely terrifying. Every scare actor was perfectly in character and clearly knew their character well. It truly ended our strange long cold night on a high. If you love horror, like a good scare, or just fancy something different, please give this attraction a go! And thank you, Lantern Man- May your light never go out!

Waterloo Music Bar

Reviewed By CraigN1116 - Poulton Le Fylde, United Kingdom

Love the Waterloo it's a grand old pub with masses of character, ian and co inc all the bar staff, sound engineer, lighting etc work there arse off when the gigs are on because it gets very very busy theres a great selection of beers, ciders ,bitter, etc and various different bottles of the above theres various memorabilia on the walls of all bands and music if your into your rock music this is the place you've got to visit. Everyone is friendly and you wont be on your own especially if your talking music ,theres an open fire so its lovely and toasty in winter and a big car park, its entrance is disabled friendly so no problem there I highly recommend the Waterloo and if you have any questions just message or ring ian Fletcher and he will sort your queries out.
