PARKING | |
| "Can park at the stairs but then have to move vehicles once you are loaded in." | |
ACCESS | |
| "Up about 2 dozen external stone stairs. Wouldnt like to do it in wet weather due to slipping risk. Once at the top of the stairs you are right in the room and at the end of the room where you set up." | |

PARKING | |
| "You can park at the side of the building close to the external stairs. " | |
ACCESS | |
| "All equipment needs to be carried up 2 large flights of external stairs.
There is nowhere to store equipment prior to gaining access to the Great Hall because you enter the room directly from the top of the stairs. So if raining your gear could get wet sitting at the top of the stairs. The staff might let you put some smaller items in the reception (a very small cabin halfway up the stairs). " | |
FACILITIES | |
| "The performance area is not very wide because there is a door on either side of you that still needs to be kept clear. Maximum 8 foot available.
There are 2 plug sockets on either side of each door so that is ok.
