"This place has been designed with purpose in mind. Such a beautiful building with amazing, friendly staff. Only been here for three days and already want to stay forever."
"I came here for a choir practice. This is a fairly large facility with lots of different rooms/spaces used for various art forms, e.g. Drama and dance. It really is very good. Many many years ago it was a large open space used as an exhibition hall."
"Just went to my good friends graduation ceremony. And wow it was fantastic, moving and beautifully done. It seemed incredibly progressive and inclusive for all people"
