Loved the space (I was one of the first bookings post renovation) - the lights were really good and had loads of different combos, huge speaker setup and could hang decorations. Honestly the best thing about it was the staff - they were extremely accommodating and weren't particular about the min spend, was just to ensure that vibes were in the room! Excellent night, would hire them again.
The room is a little dark - you have to play with the light settings a little if you want to get an "ambient" setting for chatting - but if it's a big party you're looking for, you can have a lot of fun with it

FAQ

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own DJ.

No, bands cannot be accommodated in the arcade space. Live bands are welcome in the function room, which has a suitable stage.

No. Minimum spends are on drinks only as the kitchen is operated by an external franchise. Food can be included in the event pre-order, but this will be charged on top.

Yes, music can be played through the function room’s PA system, but connecting a phone or laptop requires a mixer, which the venue does not provide. External speakers are not permitted.
