Comments from our clients
“Our wedding at the Gallery was unique and fun - it's a classic and contemporary space just a few minutes walk from the Town Hall. As well as being a perfect backdrop for photographs, it was brilliant for guests to look around the artwork.
The events team took all the stress out, and helped us through all aspects of the day - from flowers to fairy lights, and of course the fantastic food. We thought it was perfect.”
