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.

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!
