| Date | Room | Floor | Parking | Access | Facilities | Staff | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11/01/2017 | Function Room | Ground Floor | |||||
Haze/smoke allowed No sound limiter Air conditioned PLI requested Some useable in-house lighting effects No specific dancefloor area No stage area No effective blackout PARKING: Parking can be difficult especially if there are a lot of guests. ACCESS: Access is not easy, you either go around and down a long path which is quite steep and several hundred meters long or you can go down what can often be slippery steps across a decking and then down a narrow spiral staircase, not recommended if carry equipment. FACILITIES: It is close to the fire exit/disabled access which the long path leads you to with several sharp corners uneven paths and other obstacles and is also at the bottom of the Spiral staircase. STAFF: The staff are fantastic, really helpful and friendly, you couldn't ask for better. POWER PROVISION: Short extensions (up to 5m) required ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "Obviously it's a very old Fortress, stone walls, stone floor, there are brickwork arches which almost separate different areas. You have an immediate dance floor area in front of you and then through the bricked arch is what the guests will use as a secondary dance floor area. Getting from the Car park to the setup area is no easy task, allow plenty of time and we would suggest you have a rock n roller cart or better. What makes this venue is the staff are excellent." | |||||||

FACILITIES: Plenty of space just inside the entrance door STAFF: First rate manager and very helpful staff POWER PROVISION: Plenty of power all round the room ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "Has noise complaint issues with residents so tend to use a handheld decibel meter" | |||||||
