Self Catering · 50 guests · December 2025 · Photo & Dance & Event Space

I used this venue for my 30th birthday party where I hosted a sit down meal and quiz with my family and friends. The space worked out perfectly. I could decorate as freely as wanted, there was a mic, good speaker, lots of tables and chairs and felt very private. The location was perfect in the NQ in the city centre. Would highly recommend!!!

The room wasn't completely empty as there were some old boxes/props in the corner that couldn't be moved that did take away from the aesthetic a bit.
