The staff were lovely and really helpful. The only thing is that the space that allotted to us was different than what was advertised- we had based some of our event around the space (the lower half of the podium area) only to get there on the day and have it blocked off. It meant that the space was less spacious and less suited to our event. If this had been communicated beforehand, we could have chosen a different venue.

9/10 the only thing that I didn’t like it’s that we cannot use the fridge

Good space for parties, staff were understanding and helpful. Only issue is that all the sitting benches, were still in the hall I hired, which did not leave any space to place tables and eat. We had to move it in another room so the day.

We absolutely loved the venue! The space was stunning, with its beautiful high ceilings and charming blend of old and new architecture. The staff were incredibly helpful both before and during the event, making everything run smoothly. All our guests had a fantastic time — and so did we. Highly recommended!
