Baby Shower · 60 guests · July 2026 · The River Hall

Booking this venue, was one of the easiest and best experiences I've had with a venue. Every person I dealt with was so polite and helpful. The venue itself its such a nice space. Walls are tidy so didn't feel the need to have to have tonnes of decor to hide the walls. Also I was so thankful that within the hire price I had access to tables, chairs, kids tables and chairs. I also had use of a kitchenette where i was able to store some food while i was setting up the event. The space was such a nice size for my intimate event.

Anyone inside the building also had access to the kitchenette and at one point there was a group of teenagers in there whilst my belongings were in there.
