Fun afternoon at the Xmas Pantomime with family and friends. Always a great laugh here at The Keneth More Theatre and this year we got two dames for the price of one, in the form of the two ugly sisters in Cinderella. Always worth a visit to see the Xmas Panto.. see u all next year👍

Absolutely blown away by the production of this pantomime. What an evening we all had.
Furthermore, the acting and the general audience participation surpassed all of our expectations and more! Me, my hubby and our two boys absolutely loved it! Laughed, clapped and danced the whole way through!
Absolutely would recommend this show even though it’s late in the season we would 100% return!
A massive well done to everyone involved absolutely brilliant show! Couldn’t get better at a West End musical!
Thank you!

Visited the KMT to see a friend in a play. The theatre is quite small, with some local parking available. The front of house staff were friendly and helpful. There is a bar upstairs, but the refreshments downstairs are somewhat limited. Rumour has it , that the site might be developed. I hope the redevelopment includes a theatre, as these small local theatres are essential.

Have been going to the Kenneth More Theatre for many years for the annual Pantomime- always enjoyed it ! I was very disappointed when it closed down earlier this year, but delighted that the local Borough has taken it on. This year, our Panto included some Celebs and was as good as ever. Pleased to see that Redbridge Drama School will also be sharing the venue so it will get lots of use. I think the locals should be grateful it has been saved and support our local Theatre.

The Kenneth More Theatre truly is a Lovely theatre with very nice seating (really not a bad seat in the house can see from everywhere) really good shows throughout the year
TOP TIP :- join the KMT CLUB for £11 a year and you get 4 tickets at club price for some shows really worth it

Love this little theatre, in the heart of Ilford. Not a great location but friendly front of house staff, easy to book and some good productions. I've been there many times over the years and have never failed to enjoy the show.

This is a wonderful theatre. Has access for disabled people. Has a bar and confectionary shop. All the seats are good with no obstructions to your view. It is a very well kept theatre with comfortable seats.
Went to see the panto which was excellent.

Plays and musicals, comedies, pantos and music. The price is right and it doesn't matter where you sit as you will have a good view and a comfortable seat. Ilford's amenable theatre should be supported by its residents. Art is good for the soul. Have a great night out with good bar prices and nearby restaurants for pre or after theatre meal. Then you have a short journey home unlike the West End.

Do you have to book in advance or can you just turn up if tickets are available?

I would like to take a friend who has difficulty walking can you still park in the Town Hall on Thursday evening 14th Feb she is not registered disabled ?

Sorry not sure about Town Hall but there is a small pay and display car park opposite the Kenneth Moore Theatre. This sometimes has parking spaces.
Do the Kenneth more (like other theatres)offer binoculars for people who need a little extra help seeing distances?

I have never seen binoculars but they may have them behind the admissions desk.
It is only a small theatre so has good views without binoculars and sometimes has screens showing what's happening on the stage.
