50th Birthday Party · 60 guests · August 2026 · Carousel Room

The Hercules staff and venue was perfect for our event! I planned a large birthday party from the US so I wasn’t sure if what I saw was what I would get. It far surpassed expectations! Every need was met and they were willing to go above and beyond. Thank you to everyone who helped along the way!! It was a memorable event.

Great atmosphere and the room is perfect for a team meeting.

Staff could have been more present in the upstairs bit rather than us having to come back down to make orders.
