Forum 28 Barrow-in-Furness

A wheelchair accessible café, bar and theatre. The chairs are very comfortable in the theatre. The show I watched at the Form 28 was, Jack And The Bean Stalk. I really enjoyed the show, In particular, the costumes, acting, dancing and singing was at a very high standard.
