Mark Harding
August 2024Fantastic music venue to watch the orchestra. The seating area is quite spacious so you're not crammed in like a lot of these places. The bar area has plenty of space and breakout areas so you, you're not crammed in. You can get your drinks and snacks, sit down and relax in the intervals and before. Overall, a pleasant experience watching a great orchestra performance and of which we will definitely be returning again.
