Function Room · 50 guests · May 2026 · The Show
I recently had my 21st here, it was a lovely spacious and aesthetic venue at the show, they accommodated me amazingly. Especially the staff, bar staff were great, poppy was so helpful in setting up and organising beautifully and everyone there had made my night special and easy. Great value for the lovely time I had, especially with everything included, and location is so easily accessible in the centre, would definitely recommend for any function!!!

Staff Party · 40 guests · September 2026 · The Show
We had a fantastic experience at Truman’s Bar, where we organized a staff party for around 35 people. The private space we booked, “The Show,” was comfortable and perfect for the occasion. The food was delicious, and the staff were extremely helpful, both throughout the booking process and during the event. I would highly recommend this place!
