    Brilliant venue. The Barbican looks awful from the outside but inside is fantastic. So spacious. The theatre is excellent, lots of space even when full. Kiss me Kate was superb!

    Love the brutalist architecture. I always wanted to see this place. Didn't disappoint. Even though this is concrete, it is just a well thought out place for people to come together on a large scale, whether it's simply living or having time out and relaxing. It was a great place to visit. The central area with gardens is a must-see.

    Wonderful venue, the hall was massive, yet you could get a great experience listening to music. Nice facilities for food with a beautiful outdoor space where you can enjoy the cityscape of central London (if the weather is kind enough).

    Made the last outside cinema showing of the season. 3 varied food vendors and very lush green garden at bar area before the main event. Not a great choice is good and not cheap but ok to fill a gap or wet your pipe. Nice banqueting seats but regulars bought cushions and blankets. Get there early to avoid missing crisps at bar and better seats. Some reserved seats for members I think. The wireless headphones worked well and friendly service from all staff right to the end... inducing good directing to find the way out as we excited a different way to the entrance. Deffo worth a visit and revisit.
