Kurt Goddard
Had our company's christmas event here. Spacious auditorium and backstage area where food & drink were served. Facilities were satisfactory and it is pretty easy to get to.

Untypical Guy
Great experience, nice premises, clean facilities. Had a very enjoyable day. Not sure if the catering staff is there permanently but they are all very helpful, kind and polite.
David Miller
I was here for a work event. Nice building, central location etc. Biggest win for me was the seats in the main theatre were super comfy, I wasn't expecting them to be that nice!

I have been here on a number of occasions for conferences. It's well equipped, things seem to run smoothly and provide everything that you would expect. The lunches are good and this time had gluten free options for mains, but not desert. The cookies at breaks looked delicious though no no gluten free choice, so I had to settle for healthy, fruit option. They really looked after my waistline! The staff are friendly and helpful.
