Held our School Careers Fair here in January 2025. Before the event the organisation and attention to detail was excellent thank you to Stacie and on the day the support from Gregor was amazing with nothing too much trouble.
We have held the MAFVA Nationals Model Show at Burgess Hall since 2016 and have always found the staff very helpful, both before and during the event. It is a great venue for our show and as they put out tables and chairs before the event our life is very easy. If you are holding a similar show I can highly recommend this venue.
As a hirer of the venue, we have been impressed with the team running the venue, from meetings ahead of events, to the delivery of the event on the day. Look forward to working on more projects in the future.
