Great venue with a great attentive team - special mention to Andrea! We used the space for an air clay pottery workshop and they were extremely accommodating as well as actually sharing an interest into our event - they even helped me set up the catering/ buffet that I arranged… We will certainly come back for future social events!

Nothing at all!!
