Birthday Party · 70 guests
Hosted a joint 30th / engagement party with my finance. Could not recommend this venue enough! Great location and you have the whole place to yourself. Everyone (60+ people) was outside in the private courtyard for the first few hours where we had bottles of Prosecco Sasha had organised. Then progressed inside where my friend Djed on a great sound system.
Incredible night! Staff super lovely and really helpful. Drinks a good price, pizzas lovely and Sasha was brilliant.
Couldn’t have asked for a better venue!
Nothing, it was all great.

The equipment is great and they have full support on box office and the bar, which made the audience experience much better. Owen the technician was a great help to setup the lights.
