My daughters school hall is better, this so called event centre is shameful and inadequate. The seating is a bunch of uncomfortable chairs connected together, the ones you get in a school class room. Staff are weird and felt the need to tell every single person where to go, even ones that said they know where to go, not rude just made you uncomfortable.

Did a show here end of 2024 and it was great to work with the front and back of house team. We got lots of help across the whole project and ended up having a great time at all points of it. Appreciate everyone here! Also was late to watch a show once and the staff were nice and didn't make me feel bad :) Thanks everyone.
