From the booking process to leaving the venue after the event, the whole team were fantastic. As with most events, there were some amendments to the details along the way and they handled them so well.
On the night, we could relax knowing our sound and lighting were looked after by such a professional team.
The space was perfect for us, fitting in all of our attendees without feeling too cavernous. We loved the industrial vibes (and it wasn't cold in the dead of winter which was a bonus.
We would 100% use the Anthony Burgess Foundation again, and I would urge you to do the same.
