The magazine commended the theatre for its variety of performances, with over 70 shows to choose from this summer, including the Wizard of Oz, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde and various stand-up and improv acts. 

The article also complimented the venue's theatre bar and food options.

Last year the theatre won the New Tourism Business of the Year for East of England. 

Co-founder Lindy O’Hare said " It’s made the whole team very excited that we have something that’s great for Suffolk. We’ll really put East Anglia on the map."

The article also complimented the venue's picnic area where a local business called Husk can deliver bespoke picnics to an hour before the show.
