Gulliver's Travels in Bolton

Bolton Octagon’s 50th anniversary season sees world premières, its first ever full-scale park show and a major new co-production with Out of Joint and the Royal Court Theatre that will revive Andrea Dunbar’s Rita, Sue and Bob Too.

To coincide with the Octagon’s major redevelopment, the final two productions are going to be off site.

Summer Holiday will see audiences joining professional actors on a bus for a journey that will take them from Bolton’s new travel interchange, through the town centre, to the newly-renovated Albert Halls.

Following this, Queen’s Park will be transformed for the Octagon’s first ever full-scale park show, Gulliver’s Travels.
