Came here to watch a rugby match on the big screen. There aren’t nearly enough places to sit in the area, which was large enough for at least a few more seats. Because we couldn’t get seats we also couldn’t order any food and so we just ended up leaving. The food menu has an impressive number of vegetarian options which I was not expecting. That’s my only positive right now from my brief visit.

Attended a 2 day event this weekend and great room and stage. Sound is fab & staff were very polite. I'm very hopeful that next year the food provisions will be significantly increased to process 1800 of us in sufficient time! Thank you team!
