Guy and Andrew

“Just wanted to say thanks again for putting on such a fantastic event, everyone who attended had an absolutely incredible time and said it ws the best celebration they have been to in YEARS!! We really couldn’t have done it without you and the fantastic team, nothing was too much trouble and everything went absolutely perfect on the night. So pleased that we have such a friendly and accommodating venue right in the heart of the city centre!”

"We hired Westgate Hall for a joint 4 years and 40 years superhero party and it was brilliant! The staff were superb and helped with every aspect of the party from catering, setting up, running the bar, to clearing away, at a very reasonable rate. I would certainly recommend it for any celebration."
