The venue was phenomenal, and the experience was unparalleled. Not only did the venue suit our event perfectly, but it also matched our values of inclusion, accessibility, gender expression, equality, and sexuality. It was clear that these values were mirrored by The Fringe Common Rooms and their representation of the union movement. Thank you for hosting us.

A great function venue and the cash bar makes it very simple. We self catered and this worked really well for finger foods/grazing platters. The staff were so friendly and helpful
