This review was provided by 5 Star Discos Permanent wooden dancefloor Low permanent stage Air conditioned No useable in-house lighting effects No windows Haze/smoke prohibited SOUND LIMITER - Moderately sensitive PARKING: Decent sized carpark at side of venue. With luck you will get parked close to where you load in. ACCESS: Across a small patch of grass. IN through a single door in to an external service area. through the corridor and in to the building through a series of tight doors and up a few steps. Not the easiest but not the worst. Not difficult but it does take a bit of time. FACILITIES: Against the back wall on a small stage. 4 sockets behind the curtain. SOund limiter in place but it is workable. STAFF: Staff kept me informed of proceedings. POWER PROVISION: Plenty of 13A sockets in easy reach ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "Decent room. Sound limiter but you can get a good volume from it and you can plug an XLR to run a feed to speakers at the back of the room." | |||||||
