Booked Burgundy at Balls Brothers Minster Court
5.0
A good size room which is also has removable walls to be more versatile. flexible with food, table arrangements and timings. There is a private bar available as well and is a great space for larger seated events (we had 25 which is a bit too large for most other venues) Responses are very quick and clearly have plenty of experience running events. Absolutely fantastic to work with - will definitely work with again!
