Enjoy an unforgettable night of magical music from 50s and 60s in the company of Music Masters!
The new Music Masters have emerged as arguably the hottest band on the 50ŌĆÖs & 60ŌĆÖs scene. The band has an ability to so perfectly recreate the sound and atmosphere of that momentous period 50 to 60 years ago when music sent an exciting buzz around the country.
The musicians within Music Masters have a musical pedigree second to none, and have been part of the successful UK bands, D...ave Berry and The Cruisers, The Sheffields, Joe Cocker, Paintbox, and The Voices of P.G. Johnson, to name just a few.
A night of fabulous music, not to be missed!

We laughed,sang,shouted and booed
Thank you all for a great night
We come along to the panto every year & have done since our friends sons have been part of the cast. Its my starter for christmas & brought my mum along this time for a change & she was amazed that its all kids apart from the Dame (who is amazing year on year). So professionally done & we love it!

Once again another fantastic production of dick Whittington from the young theatre company! I'm proud to have my daughter be a part of it!
Love the acorn theatre, Worksop's little gem., and the Young Theatre Company and more that perform there. Fantastic for kids and adults, both watching and performing.
Looking forward to yet another performance at Acorn Theatre in July when my lovely granddaughter Sarah will be taking part. Carry on encouraging young people to take interest in drama.Best wishes for future productions!!
It is small enough for community projects but big enough. It is fairly basic but very well kept. So it doesn't have fancy gold painted plaster work but that doesn't matter. The Christmas concert for guide dogs was fabulous this year and last, a great night of varied entertainment by talented locals and a fantastic atmosphere.
Great venue! Fabulous staff, love this place as an audience participant and performer.
Fantastic local theatre ran by a dedicated team of volunteers! Visit and support it!
Fantastic little place a must see grate place for kids too
