The Watermark

Very nice venue. Did a talk here and was pleasantly surprised by the space and facilities. Nice cafe and the library on the bottom floor, toilets and conference rooms upstairs. Parking is good too.

Great show, but the car park outside was difficult. The app failed to download. Try the main car park in the evening. It is free..

take my granddaughter to the singing and read there. Great community spot cafe etc entertainment.

I had my Retirement party at the Watermark in early August.There were around 120 people present and we had a welcome glass of Prosecco, then talked, danced and drank the night away. The Watermark staff, especially, Michala the manager, were so friendly and helpful right from when the venue was first booked. We had the whole of the first floor with a disco and tables in the Stowford Hall and the Beeson Suite where people could sit and talk and watch a slide show. The food was served in the gallery corridor. Michala served the complimentary Prosecco and her daughter manned the bar and both were on hand all evening in case we needed anything, they were awesome.We were allowed to bring our own food and that helped to keep costs down. We were encouraged to decorate the venue with balloons, banners,bunting and we provided flowers for all the tables, so the atmosphere was great. We had a fantastic evening and so did all our guests. I would definitely recommend the Watermark as a venue for your own function.

Everything you need under one roof, library, cinema and café. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Good place to meet up with friends for coffee or lunch. Also they hold live entertainment there with a bar upstairs which can also be hired for private functions.

Cinema has a good size screen and a good sound system , staff very friendly and helpful. The seating is very poor, leg room is very tight giving cramps to being forced into a poor seating position. As I do need to have some leg room I will not plan to revisit the theatre.Oh dear, poor reply from the cinema advertising of some sofas which were not available due to popularity, wonder if it’s the uncomfortable seating which makes the few sofas popular. Having worked in a multi purpose venue offering cinema with a seating rake i understand the limits for resolving this and ensuring the seating is suitable for all persons with different abilities and body shapes.

Had a coffee and a very nice slice of carrot cake while my wife visited the craft fair.

We love this place. Good food in the café, great library and public information. We particularly enjoy the cinema and now prefer coming to see films here rather than the big town based cinemas. Amazing popcorn !!

Went here on a Burlesque/Cabaret evening with my partner and found the show to be very good. Everybody within the Watermark were very accommodating. Only bad thing was a bloke beside me kept shouting out to the compere who dealt with him well and the comedian who was very good plus they dealt with him as well. Obviously had too much to drink during the interval. Otherwise it was a good evening overall.
