A real hidden gem - brilliant venue in a great location. Staff were so helpful and kind, communication was always very prompt. I recieved so many compliments from friends in attendance about how good the space was and would certainly recommend this venue to anybody wanting to celebrate a similar event. Thank you again for helping make my 30th such an amazing day!

I loved having my birthday at Ollie's. It was a great space for hosting a large group. The staff were great at accommodating the things we needed (plates and cutlery) and letting us put up some of our own decorations. I would host another event here 100%.
