Staff were friendly, hospitality was great, they allowed time for setup and tear down, the staff went the extra mile to ensure our event was a success we didn’t know how to set up the PA system and the staff were kind enough as to help set it up. We will be intersted in using this venue on a monthly basis as it’s a great location, great staff and the size of the venue is perfect.

I held a book launch at The Africa Centre and I cannot thank them enough. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The venue was ideally located and easy to access on public transport. Special thanks to Chike who was just an absolute pleasure to work with and helped make my event such a success.
