Leaving Party · 50 guests · September 2024
The function room at the Hercules Pillars was ideal for my event. Great space for a medium-large group, plenty of space for dancing, technology to play your own music and have a slide show. Plenty of chairs for those wanting a break from the dance floor. Having our own bar was an added bonus and we easily managed to spend the minimum spend required to have no room booking fee which was an incredible bonus. All my guests said they had a brilliant time and I would like to give a special mention to Adrian and Cal who were so attentive the whole evening and addressed any issues raised immediately. I would recommend this venue to anyone and even had friends say they will keep it in mind for future events too!
