    See 10,000 Hours NOW! Don’t think, just book it. Theatre, at its best, does more than simply entertain, it takes us somewhere magical where we still believe in the ability to fly and we revel in that world with childlike joy… 10,000 hours does all that and takes it one step further, for when we return, we find ourselves reevaluating the world that we live in, looking at it anew and, if only for a moment, asking ourselves that as kids did we once dream that we could fly and then we awoke and it was a dream, or, did we remember how to fly whilst dreaming and forgot the technique upon awakening? If you want this, book it now.

    Lovely venue, our party of 4 went to see Myra’s story during the 2024 fringe. Great set up, great play and very professional!

    We attended the Whisky Festival here. The place is beautiful and was set up perfectly for all the vendors and guests to explore and taste. There was a separate room set up for a masterclass, but it was a bit noisy in there from the crowd outside in the main rooms. The facilities were nice and clean.

    We went to bring in the New Year. The decor is stunning. We enjoyed the Ceihlidh, the dance instruction, the music, the way that everyone joined in. We would really recommend this event for New Year.

    Awesome place, seating laid out so everone gets a good view. I'm 6ft 2 and still had space for my knees. The show Rouge was crazy and weird but great fun. Staff were very well organised for herding all the people in and out ready for the next show
