Testimonials

  • The Astor is a unique place, theatre and meeting place.. Professionals mingle with amateurs and locals. It has wide ranging facilities for diverse activities. The management are helpful and friendly. It is a lovely place to perform watch participate.
  • We held our wedding reception here on 22 June with a live band and had the most amazing night! We wanted something relaxed and fun and that's exactly what we got. The separate bar area meant there was room to mingle and chat while the theatre area looked amazing with the lighting and had plenty of room to dance - we danced our socks off! Staff were great, putting out food, making sure people had drinks and security on the door ensured only our guests came in. I could not fault the "techie" guys who helped the band set up and made sure the sound was good all night. We had so many lovely compliments from our guests on both the band and the venue - totally made our night. The venue is centrally located and easy to get to using public transport. There is ample parking nearby in the evening and there are plenty of places to stay overnight nearby if you have travelled. I would recommend this venue for a large party with a live band.
  • A jewel in this thriving seaside town Such a genuinely wonderful theatre, bar restaurant, art gallery, tucked away in the up and coming seaside town
  • Always a warm welcome from Team Astor and patrons of your delightful little theatre and a privilege to play such a well run and much loved venue.’Use it or lose it’ is a phrase I always bandy about but we need people to pack out theatres like the Astor so that we can carry on the great tradition of LIVE! entertainment and encourage young people to enjoy it as we have always done.
  • The Astor Theatre is a central pillar of culture in Deal. Historically and currently, the theatre has served the community and beyond with vision and dignity. The outreach work and community engagement is exemplary and as a visiting performer I have always been welcomed with support and kindness. Long may the Astor continue to shine a light on the Kent coast, a beacon of theatre, film, music, performance and more.
