Neve was thorough, helpful and always on hand to offer guidance. No ask was too small and every request was dealt with swiftly; we were kept in the loop every step of the way. The venue was dressed perfectly and was everything we could have wanted, and the staff were exceptional and so accommodating to our guests.

- TTim12/10/2023amazing historic buildingamazing historic buildingReally enjoyed wandering around here. Beautiful art in an amazing historic building. All for free entry! It's very close to Lime Street station so ideal if you have some time to spend either side of your journey to/from the city. The cafe was good too. We were lucky and found a parking space on the road outside (pay at the meter or by phone/internet) but otherwise you are looking at one of the city car parks if travelling by car.Really enjoyed wandering around here.
