Romsey Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (RAODS) owns and operates The Plaza Theatre. Located between Southampton, Salisbury and Winchester, the Plaza Theatre is perfectly situated to serve the southern Test Valley's entertainment and arts needs. An art deco venue with bucketfuls of character, the Plaza offers Pantomime, Musicals, Operetta, Drama, Dance, Youth productions and Live Music. Opening hours shown below are for show days only.
This is such a lovely small & intimate theatre. Go to the Green Room first for a lovely cuppa, enjoy the show, have a tub of New Forest ice cream in the interval & leave at the end of the show thinking "that was a great evening"...

There is lots of free parking, disabled access, sound loop, licensed bar and tea and coffee facilities.Modern lighting, sound and projection facilities allow for a great audio visual experience with the 10 metre stage large enough to accommodate reasonably large casts and stage scenery.The Theatre is located at the southern end of the Billy Trail and has been cleverly converted from a disused Goods Shed, that was left when the train lines were pulled up in the 1960's.Run by Hayling Island Amateur Dramatic Society, the Theatre offers plays, comedies, musicals, music events and many other forms of entertainment from both amateur and professional groups.

The Joiners Arms is a small music venue in St Mary's, Southampton, England. It has played host to many up-and-coming bands including Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Green Day, Muse, Arctic Monkeys & 1000's more. The Joiners opened as a music venue in 1968 and is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. It welcomes gig goers of all ages and has a community family ran vibe.
You can see why the venue has been in place as a music venue for years - it's simply superb. It's impressive to see the past history of bands that have played there and then gone on to make it big time. The bar decor lists many of these. The place is intimate and friendly. You are, and feel, very close to the band on stage. Sound quality good and a well stocked bar too. Well worth seeing a band there.

Excellent Panto as always. Aldershot never disappoints. Always very entertaining for young and old. Going again next year

The Anvil is one of Hampshire’s largest entertainment venues and offers a wide range of entertainment for all ages including stand-up comedy, theatre, ballet & opera, classical music, pop concerts and pantomime. This year we’ve welcomed top class performers including Lee Evans, Boy George and Billy Ocean and also had the pleasure of hosting one-off events such as the last UK concert appearance of the great pianist Alfred Brendel.
Have been coming here (and The Haymarket) for years as it’s our ‘local’. Plays...music...children’s shows... panto... comedians...dance... we’ve seen them all. Just never thought to do a revue before! It’s a lovely friendly venue which in my humble opinion has got comfy seats with adequate legroom...plenty of loos in the ladies...helpful staff ...and ample parking right above with a train station literally steps from the door. I know this review should be for the actual venue but I have to mention the show we saw! Packed audience to see Anton and Erin...and we loved it! I was a bit hesitant as I thought it might be the two of them waltzing around all night. Far from it actually! Two great singers (love Lance Ellington’s voice...he used to sing in Strictly and is the son of the big band leader)...6 other dancers...and a fantastic orchestra. There was something for everyone...old style musicals right up to a fantastic take on The Greatest Showman...and a surprisingly entertaining Q&A section too. Anton comes across as a lovely man actually...not cocky at all as he sometimes appears to be on Strictly...lovely to the children in the audience...kind but not in the least condescending to a young lady he got up to dance with him. Now I can see why he has such a huge following! Very mixed audience.....men/women old/young. Thoroughly enjoyed it! TOP TIPS! Parking . We find it much easier to come in to the car park up the ramp by Basingstoke station...and much quicker to get out too! . Time your entry into the car park so your ticket is issued just after 7pm...ours was 7.05 and we had plenty of time. Only then can you buy your car park ticket BEFORE you go to the show! Nifty eh? Saves queuing up at the machines after with all the hoards!! . Go round to the right and keep going when parking so you can park as close as possible to the ‘out’ slope. . If you’re fit and healthy run up the flights of stairs...jump in the car with your pre paid ticket...and you’ll be out of the car park before most are even in the lift! SEATING TIP We’ve had seats all over to be honest but the ones we had for this show in the very centre of row K were great! There is a good ‘rake’ in the Anvil apart from the very front stalls so most seats are ok unless you get someone very tall or fidgety in front of you!

We’ve seen many brilliant shows at the mayflower now. Mamma Mia being the most recent. Always have great cast. Drinks and snacks are way over priced but that’s always the same for any venue.
