Booked The Lounge at Fearns Leeds Dock
5.0
Fearns was excellent; the venue is different to your standard bar, which helps to create something special. The staff, especially Robbie and Kasia, were super helpful and supported us in creating a truly memorable event. I recommend Fearns to anyone who wants to create a party in a place with a lovely vibe. We had exclusive use so we're able to reconfigure the venue to suit our needs, no request was too big. Thanks guys for eveything
