The venue is by far the best I've been to so far, spacious with a huge stage, loads of seating and a fab lighting system including multicoloured laser effects. There is a chill out zone behind the bar with bean bags and soft lighting. Unusually, the enormous toilets are furnished with plush sofas and an ornamental pool with live goldfish.

Many thanks to the incredibly helpful staff.
