Fantastic private hire venue. Very classy and beautiful decor. The room was beautifully set out on our arrival with welcome drinks and our own private bar. The communications between us an the events manager Alvaro were excellent and he understood our requirements exactly and assisted with everything leading up to the event. We had a fabulous time and would thoroughly recommend this for your private functions. The catering was spot on and everything was perfect. Thank you to the Astronomer Team.

Corporate Event · 50 guests · September 2025
Fantastic staff who were really attentive and helpful. The space is well lit and the food was great, bar service was fast and easy to access. Great location, perfect for an intimate event.
Not a criticism, but a note for anyone thinking of booking that I would consider 70 as really the absolute maximum capacity when you have food/drink as well.
