Party · 50 guests · November 2025 · The Function Room

Loved the space (I was one of the first bookings post renovation) - the lights were really good and had loads of different combos, huge speaker setup and could hang decorations. Honestly the best thing about it was the staff - they were extremely accommodating and weren't particular about the min spend, was just to ensure that vibes were in the room! Excellent night, would hire them again.

The room is a little dark - you have to play with the light settings a little if you want to get an "ambient" setting for chatting - but if it's a big party you're looking for, you can have a lot of fun with it
