About Majestic Theatre Retford

The Majestic Theatre is a professionally run theatre, staffed by a team of dedicated volunteers, situated in the heart of Retford.

Majestic Theatre Retford Description

The Majestic Theatre is a 1920s Art-Deco theatre situated in the East Midlands of England, and has many times escaped demolition.

From the boom times of the 30's and 40's to the desperate times of the 70's, The Majestic has flourished then declined, only to be saved by a dedicated group of theatre lovers.

With sheer hard work and determination, The Majestic has not only survived it's chequered past, but is now being lovingly restored and renovated to it's original splendour.

It is very much a 'living' theatre and whether you sit in the stalls or tread the hallowed boards, our aim is to provide a top class service to you.

Our huge mix of plays, concerts, opera and ballet will, we hope, include something for you to enjoy.

Yet another amazing night watching the "Re-Take That" boys at our wonderful local theatre. Thank you so much for bringing such fantastic acts to our little town and for all the hard work that the volunteers put it to make this all possible. Keep supporting our gem of a theatre everyone that we are so lucky to have on our doorsteps. See you again very soon.

Won tickets curtesy of the Majestic Theatre Retford Via a Facebook competition. Have to say the show we went to see Hits of Motown. Was a roaring success. From start to end. The female singers were entertaining and Roy G Hemmings gave a sterling performance singing one fantastic song after another 👌👏 Cannot say how good this show is you need to experience it 👌Lovely surroundings, helpful staff. Thank you

We came to the performance of Swan Lake on Sunday, April 22nd. I bought the tickets for a friends birthday. We were on the front row. The performance was truly magical and mesmerising. The pure beauty and energy were amazing. We will definitely be there when they come back in November to perform Coppelia. The theatre was clean, the staff attentive and the whole evening was a pleasure.

Totally brilliant performance tonight of the Beach Boys story. Great tribute band and such a fun and glorious evening of wonderful Beach Boys' music. Just such a shame that not more people came and supported this group on their first visit to Retford. Well done boys, come back soon and we'll fill the theatre!!

Thank you for a fantastic evening. My Fair Lady was brilliant. Songing beautiful. Liza was excellent. Looking forward to more shows there

Love The Majestic, spent so much time here as a child, then teenager, Saturday matinees were the best. So very special, so it's great to come and watch some excellent groups and shows. Staff are brilliant so helpful and friendly,but then that's Retford folk for you (as I am from Retford originally) this helps make your night. Visited last night to watch The Searchers, before my time, so was maybe a little hesitant when Hubby said he had booked tickets, but what a treat, first class night and throughly enjoyed the night from start to finish. As always I was up dancing, and plenty of room to do so. A beautiful place, restored to its former glory, so much love has gone into the restoration, by so many hard working volunteers. We will be back shortly, already looking to book for another excellent night. Did I miss the bar? Saw tea and coffee.

I love the Majestic Theatre, every preference we have seen has been excellent. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the theatre itself is full of charm with some lovely original features.

Looking forward to our next visit in a few weeks.

Would be fantastic if you could do hot chocolate to drink in the intermission.

Fantastic venue in the heart of Retford, whose staff are all volunteers! Bringing the best acts possible to our small market town! The Floyd Effect last night were simply outstanding! Saw Roy Chubby Blown just a few weeks ago too! Bravo and carry on folks.

Been there for various events over the years from my daughter's dance shows with Louise Clarkson school of dance to various pantos to Mr chubby brown all of which have been fantastic. Well run by a brilliant friendly bunch of volunteers and the venue kept clean and tidy. Always a pleasure and will keep coming back.

Thanks

Beauty and the Beast was absolutely fantastic, such an enjoyable show for children and adults and the venue was great, good food and drink facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. We’ll definitely be back to watch more shows here next year �

User

Absolutely brilliant time at the panto on new years day! We loved it and feel so lucky to have such a fab venue in Retford.

User

A Theater manned totally by volunteers great venue outstanding show worth every penny but make sure you have something to eat before you go

User

Went to the elvis tribute show gorden hendrix absolutly famtastic he need to be twice a year tho love it brill toilets to small could do will bit more room thank u great show x x

User

The show we went to see (that'll be the day) was great. We booked a couple of seats in one of the boxes on the balcony. The view was terrible. In fact I could only see about 10% of the stage. The people in the next box were having to learn forward to see the act because their view was also restricted. This made my view almost non. To pay top price for these seats is a joke. Fortunately we found a couple of seats in the stalls and moved for the second half .

WARNING!



Don't waste your hard earned cash on this crap! I Booked a "Michael Jackson" Impersonator Show, & the Show got Cancelled through no fault of my own... the Theatre robbed my Booking Fee... I won't be coming back to Majestic Theatre Retford ever again!

They Refunded my Ticket Money back but charged me a £2 Booking Fee which they claimed they never asked me for, and stood there and lied to my face telling me I'm a liar and that they never ever charged me a Booking Fee when they clearly did... Very unhappy with this situation! Even though it's £2 I worked hard for my Money and am not interested in people robbing Money off people, for a Show I never even got to see!! Lost £2 for a Show I never even saw, might as well throw my Money down a drain then...



People might think it's only £2 why am I complaining... You shouldn't rob people for a start & also how many people Booked that Show that Night & how many people was charged that same Booking Fee which you robbed there £2 from how much Money has your Theatre robbed off people for a Show they didn't go and see?



That £2 adds up if over 100 people Booked that Show? £200? Probably robbed off people... For your Theatre for a Show they never saw so I demand my £2 back! Sort it out!



I'm a massive MJ Fan and I'm in the "Michael Jackson" Community & told the Guy personally not to waste his time coming back to this Theatre to Perform! Good Luck on him returning.



Won't be ever going there again! & expect an apology and my £2 back immediately!!

Just got back from seeing Beauty and the Beast and in all honesty the only good things were the helpful staff and the ease of getting there! The performance itself was of a very poor standard for the price we were charged! After going to see Sleeping Beauty at the Sheffield City Hall I think we were spoiled. Alex Reid looked half cut! All I can say is what a waste of £44 and we will stick to Manor Operatic Society next year!
