No sound limiter Blinds/curtains provided Air conditioned Raised floor area No useable in-house lighting effects No specific dancefloor area Haze/smoke prohibited PARKING: Not very good at all. A little car park out the back where spaces are always taken. ACCESS: Not great. you need to unload at the back entrance where there is normally a car parked in the corner so you need to squeeze past with kit. Then through a small back door to inside then up narrow stairs that leads to a small function room. FACILITIES: A very small setup area either in a window bay or one side of a fire place. STAFF: Staff are helpful but let you get on with your job and are there if you need them. POWER PROVISION: Plenty of 13A sockets in easy reach ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "An awkward venue to setup in. Access isnt great and parking can be an issue. Setup area very small so only a minimal setup required, only a small room and not masses of PA needed ( I was told to turn the bass and volume down on my yamaha 12" tops at a moderate level )." | |||||||

You have the right to make a complaint regarding our use of your personal data by contacting the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) who are the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (ico.org.uk) - we would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before a formal approach is made to the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
