As soon as they enter the building, children are relaxed and eager to explore the building. With big windows, making unity bright and inviting, it is always easy to keep an eye on the family.
Stairs and a lift take you to the bar on the first floor, a great place to camp out and have a packed lunch. Before a performance there is always colouring and reading to entertain the children and tea and coffee on sale for the adults to relax. The second floor bar is full of soft chairs and bean bags for kids to let off steam.
Only the best will do.
