Pitlochry Festival Theatre

Fantastic venue. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. The Explorers garden worth a visit too. We went to see The 39 Steps. Brilliant, highly recommend. The 4 actors playing all different characters. Really enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely theatre. Easy to get to. Good toilet facilities. Lovely choice in the cafeteria. Good views. You also have a lovely garden to explore next door and not far from the dam.

We got incredibly lucky at the Pitlochry Festival Theatre, managing to bag the last two tickets for "Nan Shepherd: Naked and Unashamed" for that day. Having already fallen in love with charming Pitlochry while staying in a nearby shepherd's hut, learning about the show meant we simply had to go – and we are so incredibly glad we did. This two-hander was an immensely engaging play, a testament to the clever writing by Richard Baron and Ellie Zeegen. Its immersive nature and thoughtful design truly drew us in. Adam Buksh and Susan Coyle delivered tremendous performances, with Adam Buksh seamlessly embodying multiple characters with impressive elan. The narrative, especially being about Nan Shepherd while in the Highlands, felt deeply resonant and culturally enriching. The Pitlochry Festival Theatre itself left a strong impression. We watched the play in the Studio, and the seats were exceptionally comfortable. The views would be excellent from anywhere in the studio, a credit to its design. The director clearly kept the venue's features in mind, which only served to elevate the play further. Learning more about the theatre's history and mission afterward made us even more appreciative of our visit. For me, there's truly no better way to understand a place than to engage with its arts scene. Experiencing a play about Nan Shepherd while immersed in the Highlands felt like a uniquely perfect cultural moment. It was a truly memorable and highly recommended experience!

Absolutely lovely and so fun. An intimate stage experience with talented artists and a wonderful story. The building is clean and bright and modern in a storied landscape and garden that is entirely walkable and photo-worthy. Head over early to enjoy a leisurely stroll, a cup of tea or coffee, or a dram. The gift shop is worth perusing. Bathrooms are gendered rooms with stalls.

Stumbled in to the first night of Nan Shepard and it was absolutely delightful! The audience even sang a Scottish song together. She was quite a wonderful person who is no longer lost to history. Great production! So glad I got to see it! 😁

Saw Sunshine on Leith on a visit to Scotland. A wonderful theatre in every way; It's location, it's facilities, the front of house staff, all those involved back stage and on stage. What a talented group of actors who also perform the music of the show. Well worth a visit.

A beautiful setting for this lovely theatre. Food was tasty and of a high standard. Well worth a visit, highly recommend it.

The Festival Theatre in Pitlochry has a reputable name for itself and is set by the river in a lovely location. The theatre has varied acts on there all through the year. The theatre also has a small gift shop (and not selling 'tat'!) and there is a large cafe/restaurant. One section of the restaurant is an elevated glass restaurant, with beautiful views.

Always great. West End quality (I exaggerate a little) at Highlands prices. I only have two quibbles regarding my most recent experience: I found it impossible to buy tickets on the website from the U.S. (but the staff intervened for me) and the audio device provided me didn't work. (No matter. I was in the first row.)

Not a patch on the Edinburgh one, but still worth the walk from centre of town to see this unique place, mostly interior structure is wooden beams, kind of reminds me of a large country village hall or church, with wooden beamed ceiling. The day our party visited it was full of over 50's, waiting for a show. This left us with no seating and no lunch. Snaking strenuously back uphill to the High Street, we visited a cheese shop for smoked cheeses and oatcakes to go with wine later. So we came back 30 mins later the show which had now started meant there was now seats a-plenty! Shows and events expected to appear this year 2014 are the likes of...elvis, whiskey kisses, queen, miracle on 34th street. But if you get the chance try their Food hall/cafe hub, or surrounding the building is a maze of gardens. A few hours later after seeing the nearby salmon ladder and dam we jumped on the EY bus, this took us back a couple of miles to our luxury abode at Blair Castle about seven miles for around £1.70.
