What our VIPs say...
“The fair was excellent but what made the day very special and enjoyable was the VIP lounge. The staff were excellent and could not have been more welcoming and helpful. It was a little sanctuary!”
“What a wonderful day we had and how special we were made to feel right from our arrival at the venue! The lounge was so relaxing and the people looking after us were great. We met some lovely readers throughout the day. 10/10 would definitely do it again.”
