We hosted our Sip & Paint evening at The Exhibit and had a wonderful time. The private mezzanine space felt cosy and intimate, and having our own karaoke room afterwards was such a fun bonus. The venue team was super organised and handled most of the setup we needed, so everything we added was just extra, which we really appreciated. Shoutout to Hannah for being flexible and taking such good care of our guests, and shoutout to Ollie for being super attentive, from making sure our speakers and mics were working to setting up the karaoke room. The balcony access was a lovely touch, and the on-site food and drink made it easy for guests to relax and enjoy themselves. A great venue for a creative, social evening, we would happily return.
My guests had a wonderful time, I will be back!

Brilliant space - had the whole upstairs floor + balcony and private bar. Staff were friendly and helpful with setting up tabs and food came out when requested. Had a great evening and would highly recommend this space.

Wedding Reception · 80 guests · August 2024
We couldn’t thank the team at The Exhibit enough for all the help before and during the event. Communication prior to the event was great and all my requests were made, my guest absolutely enjoyed the day and all the staff on shift were super helpful in setting up and bringing food out. Bar staff in both the main bar and our private bar in the garden were excellent, good vibes all round!
