The plaza theatre is under continuous refurbishment, after being used for quite a few years by Mecca bingo. Many of the original features of the building ( from 1932 ) are still there. Very good guided tour by volunteers, Peter and the rest, took us backstage, dressing rooms, projection area. Afternoon teas, and various light menu can be had in the cafe, Monday to Saturday 10-00/4-00. The theatre is again thriving with all types of shows, from musicals, comedy, dance etc. Went by coach so no problem, but not easy to find parking nearby. Pay/ display on road outside (limited spaces) Main parking top of hill, 200 yrs away. Monthly tours of the plaza £7, Plaza cafe, prices from£5-50 to £16-50 for full afternoon tea. Worth a visit for your, or theater shows. Lovely theatre.
10. Etherow Country Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 384 reviews
Reviewed By traciecleere
Lovely park, dam, woods and boating lake. We visit Ethrow park quite frequently and always enjoy it. The wooded area surrounds a central lake so it’s easy to stick to a route without getting lost! Along the boating lake is a quiet path that usually has people fishing and the ducks and geese wander along the path which is nice, the path leads to the dam which is always nice to see. A cafe and little ice cream parlour are situated near the car park for refreshments. It’s a lovely park for walking and we usually find new parts to explore that we haven’t seen before. Highly recommend
