Dry Hire · 50 guests · February 2026
I can’t recommend this venue enough! Nash and Pawel were incredibly responsive and flexible for all our requests. The venue itself is also incredibly well maintained and all of my guests commented on how lovely it is
One thing to note is that parking isn’t directly next to the venue and if there is an event day there are restrictions. This wasn’t an issue for us but something to note
