- DDaniel11/05/2024Disability discrimination Disability discriminationDon’t book an event here! It is against the law not to have disability access. A week before our wedding we could not access upstairs. They assured us there would be access! We were then left with 100 guests trying to find a venue local as hotels were booked etc. We are currently awaiting a response from the company and legal action will be taken.Don’t book an event here!
