Culture vultures should definitely head to the Mayflower Theatre on Commercial Road (tel: (023) 8071 1800/11; website: www.the-mayflower.com), the largest theatre in southern England. It opened in 1928 and is one of the top three most successful regional theatres in the United Kingdom, with audiences of more than 400,000 each year. It puts on an impressive programme of musicals, ballet, traditional pantomime, opera and comedy acts. Another good venue for live comedy is the Jongleurs Comedy Club, 2-4A High Street (tel: 0844 499 4074 or 844 0044 for tickets; website: www.jongleurs.com) close to the centre of town. They also serve decent food and there is usually a disco after the comedy acts. There are two multiplex cinemas: Cineworld, Ocean Village, 4 Ocean Way (tel: 0871 200 2000; website: www.cineworld.co.uk) and Odeon, Leisureworld, West Quay Retail Park (tel: 0871 224 4007; website: www.odeon.co.uk). The Harbour Lights Picturehouse, Ocean Village (tel: (023) 8023 4234; website: www.picturehouses.co.uk) is a great independent cinema showing the latest in art house cinema.
