Notably, the warmth and professionalism of the staff stand out, with many eager to share their knowledge and passion for the ingredients used. Overall, the venue remains a beloved choice for its ambiance, creative offerings, and connections to local events, despite some inconsistencies.
Very special, unique and high quality puppentheater. the children loved the pied piper of hamlyn show, especially with john the puppenplayer after.
Fantastic performances in puppentheater and incredible eating in caffe!
The Fitzgerald concert was wonderful. It's great to have such a stimulating venue so close to Penrith with a mix of puppetry, drama, exhibitions and a whole range of live music. Always a great evening out. Always interesting crafts on sale and excellent coffee, lovely restaurant with mostly vegetarian dishes, including sticky toffee pudding and my personal favourite potato, leek and watercress soup!
I have seen many puppetry performances in my time but Upfront are truly enchanting. Fabulous set design and puppets and a great place to eat too. What more could you want!
Love Upfront. Been visiting for years and attended music events, art exhibitions, theatre and just for food or a coffee. Great selection of gift choices too. Can't be beaten in terms of a dedicated team working tirelessly to provide a great eclectic mix of entertainment, arts and cultural events. One of our favourite venues in Cumbria and the North.
