Baby Shower · 50 guests · September 2026

Quite spacious, because the walls were already worn with years of sticking things to it, we didn't feel bad sticking balloons and decorations around it. Good location, bit of a pain if you are parking but close to bus garage and train station.

Quite pricey for how old and used the room is. Lots of things you could add on like screen a d projector but these were additional costs.

In accordance with our agreement, the venue was exactly as expected. The staff were extremely helpful in assisting us with the setup for our event, and the space had all the facilities we needed. The price was very good, and I would happily use their services again.
