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!
