    Cheesy Bingo! Fabulous night out
    A friend mentioned Cheesey Bingo, never heard of it but thought it would be a great way to spend a girls night out. Venue is in a great location. Loads of parking round the back. Drinks reasonably priced. Staff friendly and toilets clean! The main stage area had all the tiered seating pushed back and rows of table were laid out in rows. The bingo is hosted by 2 funny, charismatic and entertaining hosts. You play 1 game of bingo for either a line or a full house and the prizes are huge inflatables. Sounds naff, but by the end of the 1st game all that matters is that you want to win a HUGE inflatable :-) Lots of cheesey pop songs played throughout and you're encouraged to dance and copy dance moves. After every game there's a chance to dance to maybe 5-8 songs, get a drink, toilet break etc. The whole atmosphere is like a huge girls night out, there were a few token men there too. Its the most hilarious event and if you love to laugh,dance, sing and have a fabulous night I would highly recommend this

    Amazing!!
    Went to see Fastlove (George Michael Tribute) last night with my Mum and oh my god it was amazing!!! “George” and his band got everyone going and it was truly an incredible night. We had great seats and it was all a very smooth experience from scanning our tickets to getting snacks and being seated. Always wanted to go to the Embassy and so happy I finally did! Free parking around the back of the venue was excellent too. The snacks and drinks were very fairly priced to our surprise. Well worth a visit if you are in Skegness! Thank you for a wonderful night! 💕

    Great friendly venue!
    Saw Sarah Millican on Friday evening at this great venue. Easy to park at the rear & walk through to the theatre. Always find the staff very welcoming & friendly. Great night out thanks to everyone involved. Look forward to returning in the near future!

We have watched many pantomimes over the years and this is by far the worst pantomime I have ever seen. The actors playing Jack & Jill were heavily let down by the poor sound quality, budget MDF set and cheap basic costumes. The theatre had no atmosphere, as the audience were not encouraged to join in for the whole first half. It didn't help that their wasn't a live band! Only three dancers on stage for the majority of the time, made the stage look empty! The theatre Itself is a tin hut!Basic, budget, fell flat, very disappointed!!!!! We will be returning to Lincoln or Newark for a true authentic pantomime experience, in a beautiful theatre!

The show was AMAZING, been a while since we all got out and I suggested the panto as the pandemic has made everything a bit gloomy last year and would be a good way to cheer us all up and that is exactly what it did. The performance was really good i enjoyed how they made it there own, it was a really good day and the staff were very friendly. I recommend to anyone who loves a good show!

Nice venue not as busy as I expected it to be, it had a couple of hen dos going on who really got into the swing of things, they didn’t sit down all night. We paid £25 each for the gold experience and if I’m honest it wasn’t worth the money. The lad that served us was great and looked after us though.

went to see Magic Of mowtown last night. Good show apart from sound. Band bassist far to loud and not in tune. Every one was clapping and singing along. Singers all very good.

Shame on you, my partner just took my 1 year old in to see if we could use the baby changing facilities to be told NO. Who says no to a baby.. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Its middle of winter so are we expected to change him outside? Thank you to McDonald's that did allow us.

Paid to see Jim Davidson.. instead 1st half was a fellow called Myles...sorry but was not advertised as a double act. 2nd half where jim decided to perform was great.
Many people walked out during 1st half.
If I pay to see jim Davidson I expect him to do the full show. Very disappointing.

Wide variety of shows throughout the year with almost daily changes in the summer months. Most shows with tickets prices well under £30. Something for everyone
