Carnegie Theatre & Arts Centre in Allerdale

Fantastic venue and was pleased coffees were still available for evening shows. A great venue in Workington Jacqueline Trodden

Good to support them now they are open

Stood at the cafe for five minutes for a coffee before someone sitting down told us it was closed and to go to the bar to order one. The shutters were shut there was three members of staff there. After five minutes I said can I have two lattes please , they then made me pay through the shutters . Waited another five minutes asked where my coffee were . Oh I'll go and see. You have to go through there for them ? Fifteen minutes from ordering we finally got them . Before we got our photos took with Phil Thompson and Bruce Grobalaar the compare said we were allowed to take photos but no videos. So when they arrived on stage I took a photo, this lady came from nowhere "Your Not allowed to take photos don't do it again" I waited till the interval in shock and found her and told her what the compare had said . She told me she would have to speak to him because they were told No photos. She did come back over and apologise but then shouted I'm so sorry if I upset you in aggressive manner. There was no need . I enjoyed the show but not the attitude from the staff I met .

Saw Limehouse Lizzy at the Carnegie. First time I've seen them in a theatre and saw much more of the performance because of the layout of the theatre. Fabulous night and I will be seeing many more bands here. They also have a decent bar area so you can relax over a drink when the band isn't playing.

First visit and we loved it, the show was fabulous and the theatre delightful

Went for the first time at carnegie last night to see made in tennessee and it was brilliant.

Coffee is amazing and the cake is 😍

Great atmosphere here plus a well used bar

Great little theatre, good views and great seats.

Went to watch a dance show. Brilliant venue and extremely helpful theatre staff. They have a fabulous programme of of events including Kerry Ellis. Highly recommended

Great little Theatre. Have been to some good shows

Lovely cafe on site with very helpful and friendly staff.

Great place for a cuppa and chat. Clean, friendly helpful staff. Good choice of food

Nice venue and cafe but this radiator in ladies room is quite disgusting

We just went into the cafe which was excellent with good quality food at very reasonable prices, the staff were very friendly plus its dog friendly 10/10

Usually stop the cafe here for a cuppa etc when in town. Staff are always lovely, helpful and we've never had a bad coffee and a cake 🥰 or anything else we'd fancied to eat . Our usual go to cafe when in town.

Went for Pissed Up Panto. Show was fab. Theatre is good. Toilet queues not good! 😂

Went to use the barclays banking but always a busy place going to try the food next time

A great venue, visited to watch a local theatre group production. It was great to see the cafe open upon arrival. Bar prices were reasonable.

Excellent in every way. Great service/staff and food👏🍴👏

Went to Jersey beats had a great time

Brilliant show..well tended theatre excellent staff ...

I would definitely come here again. Volunteer run. My only concern, not once was my ticket checked. What if there was a fire. Was I sitting in correct seats??? Lots of children at event. Love venue, staff amazing but health and safety wise..could the event venue account for who was where?

Great food at reasonable prices. Staff friendly.

Snow White & the 7 dwarfs was absolutely amazing! Looking forward to coming back

Fantastic performance by razzmatazz thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Beautiful theatre

Great atmosphere, good sound system, stagecoach production greatest showman excellent work, we loved it, Pete and Joyce. 😄

Extremely hot (unsurprisingly!) in the heatwave, but a lively theatre, great decor, comfortable, and well-priced food and beverages available.

Had a great night at women of rock last night they were brilliant

Coffee machine broke only instant coffee on offer so never stopped

Brilliant night had a very nice time staff very nice recommended

A great variety of professional shows for a small town theatre. Lovely staff and a nice cafe too.

Historic building with brilliant entertainment.

1st visit to Carnagie Theatre to see Jersey Beats last Friday. Excellent night, fantastic atmosphere, will definitely be back.

Lovely theatre with a great choice of shows.

What a fantastic night out seeing the Jersey beats. Fantastic comedian as well as great music. You must see this show the next time you can, sadly the next show is sold out

Lovely intimate place, for all age ranges.

Great venue. Comfortable seating. Well staffed bar.

Went to see A foreigners journey. Outstanding night.

Great place for entertainment I went recently to see a pantomime with my partner and didn't really want to go I was just treating her however I really enjoyed it the WADAMS crew are brilliant actors and singers, the costumes and choreography were top class I'm gradually becoming a theatre goer

Must see shows with excellent bar and cafe.

It was a lovely old looking theatre. Gutted the coffee shop does not open as I was looking forward to a pre show coffee. Place clean. Helpful staff. No what's on guides on paper which was a shame. I will rebook. Parking right outside on the street

Enjoyable night watching a good play.

Really good venue for variety of events. Dropped a star as I think it would be better if your staff opened all exits as people leave the venue instead of 'forcing the crowd' through the bar and then the cafe - accident waiting to happen.

Brilliant beer festival, very welcoming and the stewards were brilliant 👍

Went with my girlfriend to watch a local variety show, a warm and cosy venue. We plan to start a Virtual Reality experience here soon, the staff are friendly and very helpful. Good food and other services catered for. The theatre is like stepping back in time with great shows and other entertainment. A must visit for tourists and locals alike.

Lovely small theatre. Very atmospheric

Fabulous show. Great venue and really friendly staff

Went to a Floyd Tribute Floyd Effect they were brilliant

Brilliant night out went to see showaddywaddy excellent with my wingman Louise-Mavrick . Luv Thelma elx

Britfloyd are simply the best. The bar was overwhelmed but the service was as good as it could be.

Could do with air conditioning it was very warm

Very good thanks for a good night 😴

Thoroughly enjoyed the production of Young Frankenstein.

Good venue to host a body building competition. Cafe selling coffees and teas plus snacks and bar selling alcohol, Lots of available seating, staff very friendly. Nearby car park on vulcan Street is only £4 for the day.

"Grease" absolutely fabulous 1st class show

The performance of grease was very good. Only complaint...why the smoke machine? Goes for the eyes and nose.

Thoroughly enjoyed hermans hermits. Very good venue.

Went to see Dominic Kerwin great night staff fantastic

Take that tribute act on Saturday night.absolutley amazing

Just been to see Cinderella, haven't laughed so much in many a day. Staff were fantastic

Great venue, Dirty DC tribute band, just a little short staffed on the all important bar.

Excellent theatre. Lovely ushers. A pleasure to visit.

great theatre, lots of character

Went to a panto produced well be an amateur dramatics group. Well scripted, participatory and loved by all ages. Good length of interval during which we got Ice creams. I just wonder why they had to come all the way from Devon?

It's a beautiful 'old time' theatre, comfortable and in my opinion more welcoming than the new venues. Worth looking at the program of events and finding something to suit your interests - lots of variety on offer throughout the year.

We saw a local Amature production of Scrooge. Apart from a few technical issues with the mics, it was exceptionally good.

Not enough bar staff for the interval. Couldn't get served!!

Great cafe and theatre. Spotlessly clean, lovely staff

Went to see Talon, bar staff were fine as were any others we came into contact with, its a lovely theatre.

Loved our time at Carnegie Theatre, spend day watching my mates at bodybuilding show, lovely cafe, good bar next to theatre what more can you ask for. Fab day 😀

Still no updates on when they'll reopen despite them being allowed to do so.

Pleased to hear that the Carnegie staff has done enough work so I think it's the time for them to have a rest at home

New cafe excellent. Friendly staff good food.

I saw live music here than the pantomime at xmas we have a brilliant time every time we visit this theatre the staff are lovely friendly and the restaurant is lovely for snacks or meals

What a great little venue. Lovely theatre. Visited to see the BBC Radio Cumbria pantomime being recorded. Will definitely keep an eye open for other things on here and visit again. Plenty of parking nearby.

Great venue, lovely old building and lots of options to hire or view.

Love the place! The staff make it a great experience whether you visit the cafe for a coffee or the theatre for a show.

Great little theatre, staff friendly, great bar.

Great value food (especially the 2 for £12 menu ). Friendly staff and quite nice decor
