Attended for Maisie Peters. Maisie was fantastic, but I really struggled to be able to see the show in this venue. Tiny, cramped room, lots of pillars in the way and stage was too low. I wouldnt come here again for a gig.

Really hard to see the performer. Unless the performer is really really tall, youll only just see their face in quick glances between the crowd. I didnt even know what bottoms the performer I saw was wearing for the whole gig.

Took my daughter to see a band at this venue last night and would never go again. Doors opened at 7pm so we got there on time. We were still in the queue waiting to get in at 8.15pm. The queue didnt move for 45 minutes at all. They had flimsy iPhones scanning the barcodes on the tickets. Very poorly managed. The stage position was also awful. Set in the corner and low. Im 52 and couldn't tell you what the band looked like as I couldnt see them. Not the best at all.

I've shot a lot of bands here, the staff and security are always very helpful and the access and working environment is good, much better than some other venues. Always a pleasure to shoot local and especially here.

If you get to the front then is a good venue, the sound quality is better than the arena. I had a good night seeing the Nova twins. Its not a perfect venue, the toilets are grubby, but they haven't changed in 20 years.
