The venue was very accommodating and helfpull. Everything was of a good standard and they were very relaxed in the lead up. Would definitely consider this again.
The toilets, the majority being on the lower ground floor and the event being on the second floor was a little frustrating. Not being told the doors would close at 8pm was a little concerning with late arrivals.
