The space worked really well for the kind of event we were running. Having the main hall, the secondary room, and the kitchenette all within the same venue gave us the flexibility we needed to run sessions and networking simultaneously without things feeling cramped. The amount of space available for networking was a big deal for us and our attendees made great use of it throughout the day. We also really valued having staff on the ground. When we ran into an issue with the kitchen during the event, having someone there to help us resolve it quickly made a real difference. That kind of support is not something you can always count on and we genuinely appreciated it. In terms of what we would improve, honestly there is not much to flag. We felt the space and the offering were fair for the price and it delivered exactly what we needed on the day. We would absolutely consider Magdalen Hall for future editions and would not hesitate to recommend the venue to others. Thank you again for everything.
