I have read so many reviews stating that the seating leaves a lot to be desired, to put it lightly, and noticed one of the replies from a member of staff indicating that this would be put right eventually, but, needed funding ???...has this now happened?

Hi Danny We are a former church, a listed building and a charity so this means that many of our seats are old pews which are part of the listed building and cannot be removed. As we're a charity we have to raise money for any renovations we do, so we're currently trying to raise money to get new cushions for the pews whilst we look at other options longer-term. Promoters request that we use plastic, not glass, for anyone going into a gig. Where we can we use 'sturdy' plastic which can be washed and reused many times over. Unfortunately some promoters only want us to use 'squishy' plastic which is single use. We're always looking at more eco-friendly ways to do this and do have recycling points around the building. I hope you'll come and try us out sometime soon. Best wishes Emma, Marketing Manager
