Visited last year to attend a gig by the band Lawrence. Had such an incredible time and the building itself is stunning! One of best places I've been to for a concert/gig... like mentioned by other visitors, this venue is perfect for smaller events (less queues and not as many people). Hope you's all like me pics of Lawrence! 🙂

First time in the Albert Hall and was impressed with this stunning building. What a amazing and beautiful location for a gig. The staff where amazing and I was super lucky to see Of Monsters and men. The beers are expensive but that's normal for places like this. Its super hot though and if your on the top floor the toilet run is a long way.... Makes weatherspoons toilets look like a short walk

Two storey building with bars on either floor. Stained glass windows, hitorical venue. Good sound reprodictoon. Very hot in the venue, particularly upstairs (heat ris3s), although large wall fans were doing their best to keep people cool. Staff were, bless them, were providing us with water. Overall a venue which i would revisit providing the artist was someone whom i wished to see and listen to. Last night, 29.5.26 it was Sofia Isella.

Went to see the almighty Cardiacs on 12th March. We needed accessible seating so we contacted the venue a couple of days in advance and they were very obliging - we were able to jump the queue and get our choice of seat early. The venue itself is lovely and intimate, with plenty of original features, and good sound & lighting. Drinks are priced about the going rate for this sort of venue. Had a great time. 🥰

Great little venue, ideal for those who want to enjoy live events but don't want to deal with long queues and big crowds. The building itself is beautiful,being an old methodist church is has a nice look about it. We opted to stand/sit on the balcony which gave us a great view of the stage. The show itself was fantastic and the acoustics in the main hall are awesome. One bit of advice would be it you are planning on going up on the balcony,take something soft to sit on or be prepared for a very numb bum by the end of the night.
