Presentation · 30 guests · May 2026 · Salon

Forum is a really nice space, perfect for our needs. Amy communicated clearly and quickly, and was really easy to work with. The location was perfect for us, and tech was easy to set up. They were also flexible with timings, and allowed us to arrive before our booking to set up and didn't rush us out at the end either. I'd definitely hire this space again.

The weather was pretty hot (26 degrees) and there's no air conditioning. The temperature was okay inside though as we were able to open the doors and occasionally get a nice breeze through. The venue also provide a few fans too.

Great in house events team - smooth process from start to finish, very accommodating of all requests, and super flexible. The venue itself is a standout - beautifully designed, with pops of colour and lots of light. Having a bar / catering in the room made it easy to serve guests, without breaking up the event.

No downsides!
