The Escapist
Priorities are relaxation, entertainment and socialising with friends (if you have the time!)
The Escapist
Based on your answers, it looks like you enjoy arts and culture, but don’t have a great deal of time for it at the moment.
When you do manage to escape to a performance, your priorities are relaxation, entertainment and socialising with friends. And if you can kill two of these birds with the one stone at the Octagon – by combining a performance with dinner with friends beforehand at our popular Kitchen & Bar – then so much the better!
To save you time and point you in the right direction for guaranteed pleasers, we’ve put together a list of the must-see events for people like you who are looking for a way to relax and a brief escape from everyday life.
We look forward to helping you escape soon!
