Century Theatre

The Century Theatre in Nuneaton pulls in proper theatre-goers from across the Midlands, and for good reason. It's a working playhouse that stages everything from amateur dramatics to professional touring productions, pantomimes, and comedy nights. The building itself is nothing fancy from the outside, but once you're in, there's that familiar hum of anticipation you get in any good theatre.

You'll spend anything from two to three hours here depending on what's on. The real draw is the variety - one week it's a local operatic society doing Gilbert and Sullivan, the next you might catch a proper circuit comedian or a children's show that'll keep kids entertained rather than bored senseless. Check their website before you go because the programme changes constantly and admission costs vary wildly depending on what's playing.

For a caravan holiday based at New Forest View or Fire & Stars Woodland Camping, the Century Theatre makes a decent evening out without having to drive miles. It's close enough to pop into town for a show and still be back at your site for a nightcap. If you're the sort who likes live performance - theatre, comedy, variety acts - then absolutely worth an evening. If you think theatre is a bit dull, you'll know within ten minutes whether this is your thing. The Dandelion Hideaway glamping site is a touch further out, but still manageable for a night out.
