CUSTOMER REVIEWS / FEEDBACK

April 2018 - " Booking was a quick & easy process, with prompt communication. On the day, the theatre was set up & ready for our wedding and all we had to do was add our finishing touches to the tables and room. The theatre event management team ran the day smoothly and everyone had the best time.

Great value for money." -
