Party · 300 guests
The team at The Fable were great. On hand to help at all stages of the party organisation. The venue is a great space, I had around 200 plus people and it was ideal, would work with less or more than that too.
The team weren’t forceful to push us out the door when we were collecting ourselves and gifts which I’ve had before at other parties and stuck to the promised finish time.
If you are looking for a party venue this is an amazing choice.

30th Birthday Party · 250 guests
From start to finish the team couldn’t have been more helpful in helping to organize my 30th birthday. Stuart and Taylor were both easy to speak to and responded quickly to any questions queries. On the night, all of the staff including the security and bar staff were friendly and helpful.
The venue was perfect, it has a great area for the dance floor that is separated from the bar allowing for different groups and conversations to happen easily.
The venue organized my DJ and I’ve had nothing but compliments about his music choices, everybody was dancing from 8pm until midnight.
They were happy for setup and signage in the venue as well as balloons etc. The toilets are gorgeous too!
A huge thank you to the team for making the night so memorable. I’d highly recommend. I hired it and had around 180 guests and the space felt full and busy but it can definitely easily hold more.
There was nothing to dislike!
