I visited the synagogue while on holiday in Cornwall and can honestly say it was the highlight of the trip. Tucked away off of St Catherine Street, you'd be forgiven for missing it altogether but it's certainly not hiding away, as explained by the wonderful Jerry who showed a group of 6 of us around. Named as the caretaker, he is far more than that. He gave us 2.5 hours of history of Plymouth, Judaism and the Jewish community in Plymouth. The hours felt like minutes and we could have gone on much longer. The building itself is stunning and you can feel the sacred presence and history there, if you are of any faith or none at all, it is well worth a visit. From the stained glass windows to the opulent artefacts, you will be mesmerised by the beauty and peace to be found inside the shul. The building is a jewel, Jerry deserves a medal for all his hard work keeping this beautiful building going and if you do visit you may well meet the gorgeous Synagogue cat Dexter. You will not be disappointed.

We loved all of it. The theatre is small , cosy and quirky. The atmosphere was great- full of fun. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. The acting was great and very powerful with a thought provoking performance. We are seeing the show for the second time on Sunday with different friends. My humbug Christmas friends loved it. Thanks for a great evening.

We have been to see several shows at this lovely little theatre and they never disappoint! Iain and Jacqueline are such friendly and welcoming people that make everyone feel comfortable; we have been bringing our little boy since he was 5 months old and he is now 2.
