The Octagon’s floor to ceiling glazed William Hare Bar offers wonderful views of Le Mans Crescent. You can enjoy pre-show, interval and post show drinks with friends and guests and also take drinks into the theatre auditorium – just ask for an appropriate glass.

We host a range of Octagon Theatre Bar events including talks, poetry and acoustic music evenings.

We support local artists by providing art exhibition space in the William Hare Bar. If you are interested in exhibiting art in the Bar, contact Vicky Entwistle on 01204 556508.

The William Hare Bar is open from 6.30pm on each performance evening and from 1pm for matinees.
