Conference · 200 guests · September 2021

Beautiful venue and the whole team went above and beyond to make our event great - can't recommend them enough. From the first email to final follow up we've been taken care of incredibly well. The venue space is maintained to a very high quality, the AV is comprehensive and everything throughout was really well communicated. Helena always made herself available to talk through arrangements when we visited the space and looked into every query we raised with her. We knew we were in safe hands.

Really can't think of any negatives other than this is a large, beautiful venue that comes with a lot of stairs! Post-Covid there's a new list of catering suppliers, some of which are at the pricier end of the spectrum and weren't really targeted for our type of event. That said, Helena went above and beyond to help us with a supplier that met our budget, and they were excellent.
