Comments about the use of the Council Chamber

” The venue has several sized rooms and breakout spaces which can be set up in various layouts. The rooms were all very clean with good AV equipment available. The catering was excellent with a very competitive price; they catered well for individuals’ nutritional requirements.

All the staff were friendly professional and helpful, always on hand and will to assist when required. Pre events communications were excellent, and nothing was too much trouble to arrange, making that process as stress free as it could be.

We will be looking to hold other events there in the future.
