30th Birthday Party · 80 guests

The best venue for your event!
From enquiring to arranging last minute things for the evening to the night itself Alex and the team at The Shack couldn’t have been better.
Alex and I discussed my requirements in depth and she really made sure that everything id mentioned was listened to and achieved.
Thank you so much for hosting my 30th birthday, a night to remember and it wouldn’t have been possible without you!

The venue is very cool! The aesthetics are great, just what we wanted.
Alex was very accommodating & the staff were all very helpful.
Everyone raved about the food, it was delicious.
The drinks tokens were a great touch to our party & we honestly had the best night!
Thank you so much!
The bouncer let a few random people in but as soon as I told the bar staff they asked them to leave!
One of the staff tried to have us finish at 2am instead of 4am but as soon as my partner told him we'd booked it out till 4am he realised!
Other than that it was a perfect night!

We hosted a Eurovision screening party at the venue and had a great time in the end — our guests loved the atmosphere, the food was great, and the staff were incredibly helpful and kind on the night.
That said, there were a few big issues we weren’t informed about in advance: when we arrived to set up, we discovered the projector and large TV were broken, meaning we only had two small screens available — not ideal for an event where people came specifically to watch Eurovision. On top of that, the music setup wasn’t compatible with modern devices, which caused us quite a bit of stress right before doors opened.
Thankfully, Alex and the team were quick to help and kindly moved us to another room, which worked much better. Everything ran smoothly from that point on and our guests really enjoyed themselves. Despite the rocky start, the team’s support helped turn the night around and we ended on a high note!

Everyone loved the venue, and the set up. They liked that we had a DJ, and we were able to DJ ourselves. They loved the games, such as the darts, and beer pong. Organising the event with Alex, was also really smooth and I had received great communication from him. Thanks Alex for all of your help!
