Design: The venue combines classical architecture with bold coloured lighting and seasonal chalet styling. The broad outdoor layout creates a theatrical backdrop without feeling enclosed.

Ideal for: Large groups seeking a lively, informal setting for a standing social gathering.

What sets it apart: An ice rink forms the centre of the venue, creating an unusual winter setting that can shape the whole experience of a private gathering.
