“We attended the Christmas Train (North Pole Express) and it was delightful. We booked a compartment and received a cookie and drink for each child and a mince pie and mini bottle of port for each adult. There were various characters that came along the train plus Santa with a gift. Would recommend and will will go again.”

307 Regent St., London W1B 2HW, United Kingdom

“This cinema had long been on my list and I finally visited during their Xmas season where tickets were amazingly priced at £10 each- bargain for central London. There isn't hot food on offer but there is a full bar, plenty of hot drinks to choose from and a variety of snacks, including sweets, popcorn and chocolate. The cinema screening itself felt more like going to watch a West End show due to the style of the theatre. Great experience and friendly staff!”

Rookin House Farm, Penrith CA11 0SS, United Kingdom

“Brilliant two clay shooting sessions with Alistair; Alistair’s coaching of my wife who was shooting for very 1st time was excellent; made her feel comfortable and confident; even in the damp rainy weather, we had tremendous fun; couldn’t recommend enough and what a character to put you at ease. Deb was awesome also handling booking / weather logistics. Definitely be back next visit to the Lakes!”

“Watched my son's band The Bucket Brigade and other young talents, really good evening. Great sound and atmosphere”

100 Lincoln St, Bristol BS5 0BJ, United Kingdom

“My experience here has been really good and not so good. First, the good: it’s a great space for rehearsing. Convenient to reach, good kit, and affordable. And the culture is great - musicians support each other. The not-so-good: with few staff present, some things don’t happen. I left my drumsticks behind after a recent rehearsal. I emailed to explain this. Weeks later, and still no-one has replied...”

Westbrook Farm, Westbrook Farm Storage Units, B4122, Draycot Cerne, Chippenham SN15 5LH, United Kingdom

“Always a wonderful service from Wessex Auction Rooms. One of only two auction houses i’ll buy vinyl from. They are spot on with their description’s and their condition reports are perfect. Packing is also very professional and just how vinyl should be packed. The very best thing though is Jess in the office. What an incredible service every time. Jess always goes the extra mile, an absolute pleasure to deal with!”

Wellington Bridge St, Leeds LS3 1LW, United Kingdom

“Subject: Complaint Regarding False Advertisement and Entry Denial at Grosvenor Casino Leeds Dear Grosvenor Casino Management, I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration following a recent experience at Grosvenor Casino in Leeds on Boxing Day. I traveled to Leeds to spend the Christmas holidays with my family and invited friends who had come all the way from Hong Kong for the occasion. We were looking forward to a festive evening at your establishment. To our dismay, upon arrival, we were informed by the two ladies at the front desk that the banners displayed around the building stating, "No membership required, 18+ allowed to enter," were outdated. According to them, memberships were indeed necessary for entry. This discrepancy between the advertised information and the actual entry requirements not only resulted in a significant inconvenience but also tarnished our plans for a memorable evening. The friends from Hong Kong, especially, were disappointed as they had anticipated a hassle-free experience based on the information provided on your banners. As a customer, I feel misled by the false advertisement, and this has negatively impacted our perception of Grosvenor Casino. I kindly request that you address this issue promptly to ensure that future patrons are not subjected to similar misunderstandings. Clear and accurate communication is essential in maintaining the trust and satisfaction of customers. I trust that Grosvenor Casino will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation and prevent such incidents from recurring. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a swift resolution. Sincerely, Ayesha”

“Great rehearsal spaces. Gear they provide is great quality (we only use the cabs and drum shells, but amp heads are decent). Staff always friendly and helpful.”

“Took our 2 year old granddaughters twin girls 1st time and we absolutely loved it, they especially enjoyed the beloved rocking horse,(now I remember back in the 70's when I was a youngster and our mum would take us to Exeter library and enjoying the rocking horse 🐴,not sure if the same one?? ) Lovely place to sit and relax with a cafe onsite even better”

Unit 5, Sovereign Enterprise Park, King William St, Manchester M50 3UP, United Kingdom

“The gear isn't always in the best condition but it works 95% of the time, you can easily report any missing or broken things and you can be refunded when your time has been cut short due to broken gear. When DJing make sure to bring your own headphones and USB formatted to fat32. When using the rehearsal studios make sure you know what they contain as there are different levels with varying amounts of amps, drums and symbols. No studios come with instruments other than drums and make sure you bring your own drum sticks.”

Tynemouth, North Shields NE30 4DD, United Kingdom

“Nice monument and was used in an episode of TV series Vera in an early series. From there you can take a nice walk along the river Tyne towards the port and there are plenty of seats along the pathway. Also it is right next to the Tynemouth Priory, which is also worth a visit. There is free car parking right next to it.”

“First time visiting Banbury Odeon to watch Evil dead rise (evening veiwing). I Haven't been to the movies since before the start of covid-19 so it was well due, me and my partner were greeted by welcoming staff. The lobby was modern, clean and tidy and a wide selectionof snacks/drinks. We made our way up stairs to screen 2 and was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness and temperature was comfortable. The sound and quality of the screen was perfect. A overall great experience, we cant wait to visit again! Thank you Odeon team for a great evening.

70-76 Knights Hill, Norwood, London SE27 0JD, United Kingdom

“Recently these rooms have been very disappointing. The habit of running sales without viewing strikes me as lazy and not working in as much as the photographs are very limited in number (usually 1), quality, and do little to provide an accurate representation of the piece. Why not take a selection of photos and why not give a condition report (without the need for asking) when there is obviously damage or issues. In their last sale I bought 5 items of furniture with each item having issues that would make you rethink buying. These ranged from missing pieces, outrageous active wood work, breakages, items that are not fit for purpose. It almost feels like a con and certainly not something I would condone in my business. I will certainly think twice before buying here again where no viewing is permitted as frankly there is no excuse for not having viewing days when you have so few sales and lots. Really disappointing stuff. I've also found the staff to be less friendly and less knowledgeable than at any time in the past 30 years of frequenting this auction house.Buyers should be very careful.”

London Rd, Send, Woking GU23 7LN, United Kingdom

“I’ve had a great first experience with Ewbank’s. I was successful in winning several lots from the Retro Video Games & Consoles - The Nintendo Collection auction. The process was incredibly straight forward. James, the video game valuer, communicated greatly with me on several occasions and when I requested condition reports, he did these promptly and with exceptional detail. I could tell he is very passionate about the work he does. Today I collected my games and consoles from Ewbank’s and i was met by James who helped me through the whole process. Eloise, (Receptionist) was such a delight - so friendly and the perfect front of house person to be greeted by. Sarah (Saleroom assistant) helped gather my lots and was polite and professional. I could tell there’s great synergy between the team at Ewbank’s. Thanks to all and see you at the next one.”
