Space was beautiful and was customizable with lighting and sound. Beautiful natural light or dark color custom led lights on stage. Staff so helpful and give you a lot of leeway so you can really host YOUR OWN event.
Honestly did not have any issues. Accommodated very well.

Beautiful well kept building with amazing staff. Always a prompt response to any queries.
Be aware if you're having a catering event the kitchen is quite small. Can still be done though if planned right.

Great period venue with accessible lift & free Wifi. The size of the room meant it was really flexible, allowing us to configure the room perfectly for our needs. I loved that the venue had a full kitchen (double oven, microwave, kettle, double sink, dishwasher etc...) which we were allowed to use; allowing us to do our own catering rather than being forced to use the venue's catering or ordering food in, unlike some other venues we looked at. It also has ample parking (free after 6.30pm I think) Norman & Will were really helpful (and patient) and made sure we had everything to make our event special
