- Sarah T.Nov 2022Amazing. Loved the music, it was just so so brilliant. The dancing was incredible and the setting magical. I’d definitely recommend it and would love to go again. Just wasn’t long enough :)
- Louise T.July 2022Fabulous quartet and music, also the dancers and the Nash itself - but it was the staff that made the night for me and my Mum also, I think. My father's 90, blind, has Alzheimer's and is in a wheelchair - the process was well explained and beautifully managed and facilitated. It makes a big difference - thank you.
