The staff are amazing and helpful. They came to ask how event was going and made sure everything was doing well! There is a lift if you need to take things up to the venue. Very clean, everything went so smoothly! Enough car park for everyone in my event. Would definitely recommend!

None!

They were there to assist. I mean I was charged £75 for that so was expected to happen anyway.

How they sacked me and my guests even before time and even told us that we couldn’t stay on the neighbourhood at all. It was just awful!! The experience didn’t worth the money paid.

staff were extremely helpful, we were able to get in to the venue bang on time, staff was polite and communicated with us well in the upcoming days to the event.


An unusual and quirky riverside multi-purpose venue offering four flexible studios for a variety of business, corporate and private celebration events.

Our studios have sprung floors and offer a blank canvas that can be transformed to suit your needs. This peaceful 'get-away-from-it-all' offers great privacy.

Its urban warehouse feel with exposed brick walls gives it a contemporary feel. It's the perfect setting for people who want the freedom to create their own space in their own way, and stamp their individuality. We have a 'yes and' approach to events and if we can help you to make your idea work we'll do our best to make things possible. You can bring in your own decor, catering and entertainment. We have free parking after 5pm on weekdays and all weekend. :)
