Customer Reviews
.ent for the first time for my daughter's birthday. Easy access, well organised, clean and tidy. Staff were polite, helpful and visible, bar staff quick. The venue definitely had Crucible vibes, acoustics were fabulous. Seating format was superb, being short i seem to get a tall person directly in front of me, it's sods law, that would not have been an issue here. We were seated in the circle, row C seats 4,5 and 6 We went to see The London Symphony Rock Orchestra, highly recommend them too,.
It’s a lovely venue. Probably not a bad seat in the house view-wise. We were up in the gods, and had some issues. It was almost unbearably hot with people having to strip down to base-layers and t-shirts. There isn’t enough leg room. The gaps between seats is narrow, uncomfortable for those with knee or hip issues. We saw a folk artist and found the volume just barely adequate. Final complaint - two glasses of Prosecco for £25? You’re having a laugh, right?
Our first visit to a performance here, to see Karl Jenkins Christmas concert. The hall is well-managed with security checks on entry. There is a bar on each level. Our seats were in the gallery, at the very top, but we still had a good view of the stage and the sound was superb.
