Aha, I had tickets but could not go as I was unwell, I'm really not sure what to expect from this show so I'm hoping there will be some reviews soon.

Got similar invite for tomorrow but can't go. I have tickets for Friday anyway.

The corporate event tonight was a bit disappointing.

After a couple of drinks, it was a cash bar and hardly any canapes. Unfortunately the place was packed. I had a looked around the function rooms and they were really drab and dreary, and dated, even the wooden floors were all scuffed. One tiny room was overshadowed by this massive floor to ceiling ugly double door. It was awful. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there. Their xmas showcase did not show them in a very good light. Although they redeemed themselves very, very, slightly by bringing loads of hot mince pies.

Nice to see Beate and OH, who stayed briefly but had to go off to the LFF win!

Some venues have still not understood that the way to an events organiser's heart is through their stomach. Give me enough gorgeous canapes to eat and I will look at the place in a much more favourable light. Give me a few dreary canapes to fight over with dozens of other people, and I am not amused. And what was the cash bar about? At least the juice and the mulled wine was offered for free. We had to go and get a pizza slice on the way to the cinema as we were still hungry!

Thank you, I value your opinion and I'm glad you had fun o/
It does sound very unusual and it's quite a trek for me to get to so I didn't want to go without a recommendation first. :thanks: Xx
