| Date | Room | Floor | Parking | Access | Facilities | Staff | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24/07/2023 | Function Room | First Floor via external stairs | |||||
This review was provided by Mobile Sounds Wedding and Disco Permanent wooden dancefloor No sound limiter PLI requested PAT requested No useable in-house lighting effects No windows No air conditioning No stage area Haze/smoke prohibited PARKING: Parking near the stairs. ACCESS: Long external staircase, dont bring in equipment until the hall is ready, limited space FACILITIES: Nice location under the balcony, high celiings STAFF: Helpful staff POWER PROVISION: Plenty of 13A sockets in easy reach ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "extra time for load and building due to the stairs" | |||||||
| 25/04/2022 | The Great Hall | First Floor via external stairs | |||||
This review was provided by Lee Live: Wedding DJ No sound limiter Vinyl or stone floor area for dancing No useable in-house lighting effects No air conditioning No stage area Haze/smoke prohibited No effective blackout 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. STAFF: Staff are very helpful and welcoming. POWER PROVISION: Plenty of 13A sockets in easy reach | |||||||
| 29/02/2016 | Function Room | Ground | |||||
This review was provided by 5 Star Discos No sound limiter No useable in-house lighting effects No windows No air conditioning No specific dancefloor area No stage area Haze/smoke prohibited 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. FACILITIES: Nice wee area. - width available: 3-4m - height clearance: 2-3m STAFF: No staff present POWER PROVISION: Plenty of 13A sockets in close proximity to setup area ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "Nice room. Load in isnt ideal though." | |||||||
