I would like to say how impressed I was with the entire experience. Georgina did an outstanding job coordinating everything from start to finish, and the attention and support from the whole team at Trapeze Bar were exceptional. A special thank you to Nick, whose service was absolutely spectacular throughout the entire event. He was attentive, proactive, and made sure everything ran smoothly, which made a huge difference. Without a doubt, I would host another event there. I received fantastic feedback from all the attendees. They loved the venue, the food, and the overall experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and the team was genuinely amazing. I sincerely hope to organize another event at Trapeze Bar in the future!

Christmas Party · 80 guests · December 2025
EVERYTHING! Staff are attentive, location is perfect, attention to detail is second to none, food delicious, entertainment amazing - I had my work xmas party here on 4th Dec 2025 and it was by far the best Xmas party we have ever had. I want to have at least some constructive criticism but I cannot think of any - my feedback is based on my work xmas party but I recommend Trapeze as a place to go
Loved everything

Rosie did an amazing job in setting up our Summer Party - Great communication before hand and on the night did all the running around making sure everything was ok. Everyone who attended said how amazing it was and more importantly how friendly the bar staff were! They really helped make a good night, great! So please pass on our thanks to them too and all others involved, nor forgetting of course your performers!! The food was also top notch! Thanks again, brilliant :)
Nothing of note!
