Brilliant. Amazing Sound. Wonderful atmosphere. Facilities good. Drinks a little expensive. My son enjoyed the interval where he had the chance to try a violin.

Awesome show, the ushers were a little over zealous chasing us down the corridor yelling! Some of the seats need fixing, mine was leaning too far forward was kinda uncomfortable, but all in the place is amazing. A bottle of water is expensive, and Starbucks closes early!!

Internationally recognised as the best concert hall outside of London, the acoustics in this place are excellent and no matter where you sit, you're guaranteed a great view.
